for sure not worth the money- the outside is enoigh
Unfortunately, I can't write an equally enthusiastic opinion as others have. The building itself is impressive in its design and structure. But the insights resemble a well oiled-money making machine for those who run it. To me, it is absolutely not worth its price. First, the hour of entrance is actually a joke. Come anytime and you will join a really long queue. Then what you see is nothing spectacular; it's like an amusement park for kids but with not much to see. The most ridiculous is the floor where they speak about the healing of the future. For 169 AED the regular ticket price or 400 AED if you want to skip the queue, you can lie down in a quiet room and listen to a lecture told by an avatar. In the whole 'museum' there is nothing new, no technological novelties just an advert of a few companies (SAP, AUDI, etc) which you still need to pay for. What needs to be praised is the ability of the marketing team, to make it so desirable for so many people to visit it. Hence, the crowds that gather in hope to see some spectacular artefacts, but all they see is a few floors where you listen to the guides that tell you stories with some minimal audio-visual effects. I know it's hard to skip it with all the hype around it but if you want to avoid the disappointment and not waste the time and money - just do it. Skip it!
