If you want to walk through the history that old Dubai keeps, we suggest you visit Al Fahidi Quarter. This Quarter is also known as the Bastakia neighborhood and it was built in the 19th century. It is interesting that this area was created to be the resident of the wealthy Persian merchants who traded with pears and textiles. They came here since the tradition was tax-free and accessible to Dubai Creek. This area is located along the creek and the most interesting thing that you will see here is the coral and limestone buildings. All of them have walls topped with wind towers which was an architectural element that Persian brought. They used these wind towers to provide some kind of air condition. All streets are very lined and distinct which is a part of Arabian architecture. Inside this district, visitors can find the incredible Majlis Gallery and Al Serkal Cultural Foundation that include a cafe, shops, and rotating art exhibitions.
