Unreachable part of Arabian Dubai where you can travel back in time

Best architecture place in dubai and most beautiful place also

The Bastakiya Quarter, a time machine. If you wish to see how it looks like if you are in 1780s, head to thia historical marvel to experience Dubais oldest building, the fahidi fort, the Dubai museum, and the the sheikh Mohammed center for cultural understanding.

Oriental architecture highlighting Dubai heritage. Narrow street filled with smell of Arabic oudh. Everywhere presence of street art. Beatiful view of Dubai Creek, full of boats. Arabic cussaine followed international F&B brands...its worth visiting.

Although renovated to be a tourist attraction, this neighborhood gives the traditional atmosphere of old Dubai, contrasting with the skyscrappers and modern buildings from the rest of the city

The Bastakia Quarter (also known as the Al-Fahidi neighborhood) was built in the late 19th century to be the home of wealthy Persian merchants who dealt mainly in pearls and textiles and were lured to Dubai because of the tax-free trading and access to Dubai Creek.Bastakia occupies the eastern portion of Bur Dubai along the creek, and the coral and limestone buildings here, many with walls topped with wind-towers, have been excellently preserved. Wind-towersprovided the homes here with an early form of air conditioning — the wind trapped in the towers was funneled down into the houses. Persian merchants likely transplanted this architectural element (common in Iranian coastal houses) from their home country to the Gulf.Lined with distinct Arabian architecture, the narrow lanes are highly evocative of a bygone, and much slower, age in Dubais history. Inside the district, youll find the Majlis Gallery, with its collection of traditional Arab ceramics and furniture (housed in a wind-tower) and the Al Serkal Cultural Foundation, with a shop, cafe, and rotating art exhibitions

Loved everything abt it.old dubai

Soft aesthetics , beautiful places 💕💕

The real DUBAI lies here

Very authentic place

Historical Place

Ancient houses, visit in winter, feel the ancient atmosphere and slow time. The alley is very narrow. Every house has an inner courtyard. Homes that can be visited include restaurants, cafes, art exhibition halls, coin exhibition halls, etc. There are wooden chairs to sit on in the alley. There is an old city wall. Many security patrols are very safe and there are many foreign tourists. Next to it is al seef, which is also an ancient residence, suitable for sightseeing.

Cozy, many nice galleries, both paid and free.

Everything in this city is beautiful
