Discover the Historic Al Fahidi District of Dubai
Overview of the tour in Dubai
The Bastakia area (now known as Al Fahidi Historic District) is one of Dubai's oldest neighborhoods, offering a fascinating journey into the city's past. On the tour, you'll explore narrow streets lined with traditional buildings featuring famous wind towers and an ancient natural cooling system. These historic buildings now house art galleries, traditional cafes, and boutiques.
The route from the Bastakia district to the Old Market (Old Souk) will take you along Dubai Creek, where you can enjoy a short abra (typical wooden boat) crossing to reach the market. Here you will find a wide range of traditional products, such as textiles, spices, jewelry, and souvenirs.
