The historic Al Fahidi district in Dubai is a picturesque place that has preserved the spirit of the old city. Its narrow streets, traditional clay houses and barji-style architecture create an atmosphere of the past. Here you can find many museums, art galleries and cozy cafes, as well as explore the history and culture of the region by visiting the Dubai Museum, located in the old fortress of Al Fahidi. This area is ideal for walking and immersing yourself in Arab traditions, and we recommend it to anyone who wants to see Dubai from the historical side.

A great place to walk, a lot of museums, we were at the coffee museum, very colorful, you can take a lot of beautiful photos, unfortunately the oldest historical building, the Dubai Museum, is currently under restoration, it was not possible to get there.
Of the cons, there are a lot of Hindus in this area, sometimes it seems that you are in Mumbai, not in Dubai 😆

The place is interesting to visit, but the old city in Qatar is cooler. Try cane juice on the embankment, it is very unusual and delicious, do not hesitate to take juices from coconuts and fresh fruits from them, we do not have such. At the end of the white stone walls there is a port of a local boat, this is urban transport and is inexpensive, you can enjoy a walk on a river tram for a small fee.

Dubai's historic Al Fahidi district is a real gem, steeped in history and culture. Walking through the narrow streets of this area, it was as if I was immersed in the past, in the atmosphere of the old Arab world.
Here you can see well-maintained old houses with fancy gates, mosques with exquisite architecture and traditional souvenir shops where you can buy gifts for friends and family. Traveling through this area allows you to understand the history and culture of the country, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past and feel the real spirit of the East.
In Al-Fahidi, you can also visit museums and galleries, where unique exhibits and works of art are located. This is a great place for those who are interested in the history and culture of the country, as well as for those who just want to have a good time enjoying the beauty and authenticity of the place.
I was delighted to visit the Historic Al Fahidi district in Dubai and will definitely recommend it to all lovers of history, culture and travel. This is an unforgettable experience that is definitely worth experiencing.

A very beautiful area, unusual buildings that can only be seen in the movies, I was just delighted with this place, I really wanted to see something old in Dubai, skyscrapers are already everywhere, but there is no such thing there. Anyone who goes to Dubai, be sure to go there, just type "Old Town", then you will definitely find it))) But! But One Thing! There's a market there and they cheat, especially Russians are being nobly deceived! Get ready for this. There are a lot of things that you can't buy in a regular store, but watch what they say, how much they ask for things. In fact, you should leave no more than 500derham or even 300 there. I was there day and night, it's actually more fun during the day)
And it's also worth taking a walk there away from the embankment, it's very colorful and fun. Ordinary people live, it's not rich, but it's not scary, so take a walk

Sooo authentic place. In the heat, of course, it's still a challenge to walk there, but the color is amazing.
Sellers of all sorts of junk are trying to sell their goods, this is the only disadvantage, but they are only at one point. Otherwise, everything is quiet. When I was there, there were almost no people, it was peaceful
I recommend you to visit

It is a very beautiful area, especially in the evening. A big market, a bunch of small shops, which it is better not to go into if you are not ready to spend money, because you will do it anyway, either they will persuade you, or you will not resist some outlandish thing, of which there are a lot.

It's a curious place. The walk will slightly reveal to you the mentality of the Arab world and culture. One can imagine the atmosphere in which the greatest discoveries in medicine, mathematics and philosophy were made. To dream up a picture of an ancient market... You can even stay there at the Hilton, in a word, the scenery, because these places have no real history except sand and desert.
Another 20 minutes walk along the waterfront and you are in the quarters of those who serve glass ~concrete skyscrapers and sparkling life. There is the aroma of the bazaar, street restaurants on the water, a kaleidoscope of colors and tourists bustling on water walks...

An interesting area for leisurely walks and immersion in the history of the Emirates, it will be difficult for you to figure out without guides, but you can easily walk along the narrow streets, drink delicious coffee and spend a couple dozen dirhams on souvenirs.

Beautiful historical buildings that have been created recently. They are designed to show how the life of merchants was arranged. Beautiful view of the canal, delicious and inexpensive cafes. There are many shops with souvenir products. Nothing else. The place lacks a historical soul.

A pleasant atmospheric place for people. I mean, first of all, not the commercial part of it, but where there are galleries and museums. It is very pleasant to wander, drink coffee, look at the exhibits and exhibitions, have lunch in an authentic cafe.

Previously, you could walk around all the courtyards.
Now. Everything is blocked.
A certain route is being observed.
Some of the courtyards are closed.
Part of commerce, magnets and other goods.

The old town is completely restored to the old Bedouin style, all establishments adjust their logos, names and interiors to the old with a local flavor.
Across the river there is a large market where you can buy anything and cheaper than anywhere else in the UAE. In general, I liked it, it's worth a visit.

It is very interesting to find out how the Arabs lived before the founding of the UAE. Admission is free, there are signs everywhere, there are signatures in English, there are cafes, toilets, souvenir shops, a hotel. It is illuminated in the evening. You can get there by taxi or by metro with a transfer to the green line, then walk a little through the area where Hindus, Pakistanis, etc. live. But it's also interesting, you see the other side of the coin of life in Dubai.

The atmosphere of the old town, with souvenir shops and cafes. It's a bit far from the center, but you can take a walk on your free day. It reminded me of the streets from the fairy tale by Aladin.

Be sure to plan an evening to hang out there.
And it's better to have lunch first in the afternoon, then by 17, after a walk, score a place in a cafe with views of the water, next to the pier of local taxi boats and immerse yourself in contemplation of the hustle and bustle over coffee)

This area is a must-visit while in Dubai. He brings back memories of the cartoon Aladdin, as if you were walking along the same streets. There are cafes with a view of the canal, many shops with souvenirs, but the prices here are tourist. A little further there is a mosque and a market, also very colorful places. There is also a museum nearby (Dubai museum), government buildings and ordinary shops are already starting, where you can also buy all the same souvenirs and scarves at very pleasant prices.

An amazing place! Open-air free city museum. And museums are themed with a small fee for a ticket. I was at the coffee museum. There you will also be given a taste of coffee. The museum is stunningly extensive and everything is in an authentic house with a museum!

It's a new building, but it's very authentic. The passage between the houses is narrow, which makes it cool. I advise you to visit. There is a boat ride from the spice market.

A small imitation of an ancient city. Perhaps it is more popular in the season. It is quiet and deserted in December. It takes 20 minutes to wander between the houses. You can also visit local minimuseias and art exhibitions - the price starts from 5aed/person

A must-visit place in Dubai along with the Burj Khalifa. Of course, we know that this is a new model, but it turned out very atmospheric. In the narrow streets, you can shoot historical series or films in the spirit of Indiana Jones. The pictures turned out to be bombastic. Unfortunately, we got there by closing time and did not have time to visit the museums. But we had a delicious meal of fresh fish and shrimp in the restaurant.
Oh, and there are live camels.

Local merchants spoil the whole impression of the place with their obsessive Arabic service. I came to see the old town, not to listen to: “but this one", “my friend", “look at this”, “check this one", “best perfume”, etc. etc.
