STROLL THROUGH THE LABYRINTHINE DISTRICT OF AL FAHIDI
Discover the charms of old Dubai as you lose yourself in the maze of alleyways that make up Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. A tribute to the emirate’s glorious past, these quaint quarters take you back in time. Previously known as Al Bastakiya, the district once played a crucial role in the country’s economy with fishing and pearl diving as the mainstays. Its position along Dubai Creek, with the Arabian Gulf only metres away, allowed international trade to flourish in the region. A walk through this historic neighbourhood reveals traditional structures fashioned out of stone, rustic courtyards and wind towers. Peppered through the lanes are museums and art galleries that showcase traditions practised in the days gone by. visitdubai.com
