It's the place that's still carrying the history & culture of old Dubai. A walk around the place will aware about the rich culture of past. I visited the place in 2016. I enjoyed walking in the old city of Dubai. I must admire how it is preserved. I recommend visiting this old city at least once. It will enrich the knowledge about Dubai's culture, heritage & history.

Dubai's Old Town, souk and creek. Loved it! Where it all began, the history of Dubai. A lovely ambiance, clean, peaceful, and nice shops.
Across the creek is the famous gold and spice souk, which is also worthwhile visiting, especially for spices. We had a knowledgeable guide who spoke about the historic and the ultra modern Dubai, which was very interesting. What I liked was the small group tour, which enables the guide to give a more personalized tour and more time to answer questions.

On a short 5 minute ride on a traditional boat, you cross the creek to the other side where the gold and spice souks are. It's very busy and packed with shops selling anything from gold to spices, clothing, toys, and more.

After the souk, we went back to a restaurant in the old town for a delicious Emiraty food tasting. A very unique place with a big tree in the middle and good food.

I will definitely go back, It was worth the visit, and I recommend this tour.

While everyone flocks to the Burjh or to the palm, make sure you visit this beautiful place, spend some time which does not need any ticket or for you spend any money. You can just stroll around and capture some amazing pictures and soak in the very different architecture. It is recommended to visit this place around 6:30 so you could see it in a beautiful golden light and also witness how the place comes alive at night.

This is a depiction of a historical neighborhood reconstructed with alleys, coffee museum and coin museum. Self guided tour is enough. No entry fee. Better to go when the weather is pleasant. Else it's very stuffy and sunny.

Traditional building and lifestyle lived by people before ages and was good experience to learn and see the things. Old style shops and cafe were intresting and grabbed attention. A must visit place to experience the old age architecture and living.

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Dubai and is located in the Bur Dubai area. It is a popular tourist destination that offers visitors a glimpse into the city's rich history and culture.
The neighborhood is known for its narrow alleyways, traditional wind-tower houses, and historic mosques. Visitors can take a walk through the streets and admire the beautiful architecture and intricate details of the buildings. The houses in the neighborhood have been restored and converted into museums, art galleries, and cafes.

It was a great way to learn about the history of Dubai and see some of the city's oldest buildings.
The neighborhood is full of charming alleyways, traditional houses, and mosques. It's a great place to wander around and take in the sights and sounds of Dubai.
I especially enjoyed visiting the Dubai Museum, which is located in Al Fahidi Fort. The museum has a great collection of artifacts that tell the story of Dubai's history.
I would definitely recommend visiting Al Fahidi historical neighborhood if you're interested in learning more about Dubai's history and culture. It's a great place to spend a few hours exploring

It's a very nice experience to walk through this neighbor on its narrow streets, see the old house styles on the inside and on the outside. Some were open to visit, on others you could climb up the stairs up to their top and see part of the neighborhood from above. At a first glance on the map, I thought that half an hour should be enough, actually you could spend half a day here. Small bazaar shops, coffee shops, places to eat, many streets to explore. Go auto near the water and don't miss the camel ;)
