Yes. Zayed National Museum requires modest clothing that suits UAE culture; for adults, this means covering the shoulders and knees, and the rule applies in all public areas. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible, with stair-free routes and lifts. You can eat at Erth Restaurant, which serves Emirati food, or at Al Ghaf Cafe (checked 19 Oct 2026).
Dune bashing is a bumpy off-road drive, so it is not recommended for pregnant guests or anyone with serious back conditions. Families with children can join, and children must stay with an adult.
