Bastakia Quarter, Dubai

This is a beautiful area of Dubai - one of the few areas preserved to look like how it was hundreds of years ago! There are various museums, restaurants, shops, and beautiful alleyways to wander down - you can take a great picture anywhere! Even if you’re only in Dubai for a day or two, I would say it’s worth coming here to see a different side of the city from what we are all accustomed to. If you visit Al Fahidi Historical area, be sure to go down by the river for a great view, and if you’re here in summer, be prepared it is HOT! So bring sunscreen and water because it’s all outside. Really unique place and I’ll definitely return!

A beautiful place of historical buildings. The buildings here are made from coral and gypsum, and they have been carefully restored to their original condition. Walking through the narrow alleys and winding streets, we can experience what life was like in Dubai over a hundred years ago... In addition to the beautiful buildings, Al Fahidi is home to several museums and art galleries. The Dubai Museum, located in the Al Fahidi Fort, is one of the most popular attractions in the neighborhood. Visitors can learn about the history and culture of Dubai, from its humble beginnings as a fishing village to the modern metropolis it is today... Overall, it is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and architecture. It offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Dubai and the UAE...
