The Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in Bur Dubai is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city. Best seen on foot, this area offers nostalgic views of a bygone era with traditional windtowers and a maze of winding alleyways, positioned along the historic waterways of Dubai Creek. Visit Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU) to appreciate local culture with Arabic classes, heritage tours and guided mosque visits. After exploring, take an atmospheric abra boat ride to the souks on the other side of the creek.

Al Bastakiya, also known as Al Fahidi historical neighborhood, is a historical district in Dubai. Take a walk through the tight, winding alleyways and explore. Most of the wooden doors that you will stumble on will lead to hotels, cafes and galleries, so go ahead, explore the old town. Make sure to grab a bite at the famous Arabian Tea House.
