Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood Review

one of most interesting neighbourhoods in Dubai and the only original one. wonderful place to stroll around

You can see the "old" look of Dubai. On one side of the river is a high-rise building, and on the other side is this city. Now it seems a little quiet beauty. Unfortunately, there is no explanation, otherwise I would like to hear their history.

There are not many tourists in this place, free parking is available, and parking spaces are sufficient, so we often come here to play. We like to stroll the streets, shop or eat at cafes and restaurants. Although the place has been remodeled and has many modern facilities installed, it still has a strong historical atmosphere that makes people feel like they are in the past. There is a coffee museum and coin museum, very interesting and free to enter, highly recommended. There is also a Jelly Belly, which is delicious and popular.

Bastakia ( Bastakiya Quarter) in some strategies, also known as the Arab historical and cultural complex, is full of cafes and galleries, a bit of 798 charm, but although it is a "complex", the area is not large, maybe only about one-tenth of 798. Bastakiya is said to be an Arab architectural model, ancient Arabs in order to disperse the heat in the desert invented a hollow wind tower to absorb heat, known as the early Arab air conditioning. Because we arrived too early, less than 9 o'clock, all the business places were not open, we, we can only guess outside the life that once a thousand and one nights. But there are early benefits, with no tourists, or even rare locals, only a veiled cycling girl, breaking the plaza's calm. Although it is an ancient building complex, there is no shortage of old buildings, such as the independent building on the northernmost side, which seems to be equally old. It is a subway, down the escalator, and is also an Arab-style decoration. It is integrated with the old style of the ground.

The Afadi Historic District is also a very fun old building area. The history of Dubai is also a small village. After the oil development, it gradually becomes rich. The old city buildings in this place are also quite interesting.
