Overview

The Museum is a unique facility in the Gulf region offering an opportunity to visitors to learn about the soil story. What we see above the ground is only a fraction of that story: we see the buildings, but not the foundations, we see the beauty of the landscape with a diversity of plants, but not how the roots are distributed in the soil to support those plants by providing water and nutrients from the underground. The Museum has both external and internal exhibits that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the world of soil. Outside the Museum, a custom-designed landscape includes a diversity of desert plants and rocks found in the United Arab Emirates. Visitors are exposed to the diversity of plants adapted to the UAE climate as well as their features and benefits. Museum goers could also enjoy a walk along the paths amongst the greenery or relax under the shade in majlis inspired seating areas with a view. Inside the Museum, exhibits are grouped in themes that incapsulate the soil information and present it in topics of relevance to the visitors such as Climate Change and Food Security. Monoliths of all soil types found in the UAE are displayed along with mock-ups of insects and beetles, tools commonly used to observe underground processes, and specialized modern equipment to assess soil and water quality. In addition to the displays, there are 2 interactive simulators of sand dunes formation and water infiltration in different soil types.
