Cultural displays in the Emirates' Museums
A display of early education in the Al Ahmadiya School in Deira, established by Sheikh Mohamed Bin Ahmad Bin Damouk in 1912. Teaching was at “Katatib” to boys by religious men known as “Al Muttawa” in their own homes. Education was limited to reading the Holy Qur'an, writing, arithmetic and Arabic calligraphy.
