Discover Dubai's past
While Dubai may have modernised, it has not forgotten about its rich history and culture. Nowhere is this more on display than in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. Located along the Dubai Creek, the district is home to traditional wind towers, twisting alleyways and a museum that showcases local antiques. Some of the artefacts date back more than 5,000 years.
