Bur Dubai

The place has a different, unique vibe which sets this area apart from the concrete structure and fast-pacing glamour of the main Dubai city.

1. Dubai Creek: This is a saltwater creek that extends to the Persian Gulf and the wildlife sanctuary. This waterway acts as a commercial lifeline as it facilitates not just tourism but also harbours ships, trade and business activities. There is a beautiful walkway where locals and tourists visit at night to get a beautiful night view of the Dubai cityscape. 
 
2. Bastakia Quarter: It is one of the oldest places and was made by the Persians during the 19th century. The quarter has a gallery, a museum as well as antique decorative and gifting goods. Bastakia is well-ventilated since it has several wind towers in the vicinity and is an innovative aspect of this cultural village.

3. Souks: Old souks or the traditional markets of Dubai are full of the city's specialities and popular products. At the souks in Bur Dubai, you will find fabric, footwear, gold, spices, clothes, souvenirs, and fragrances. There are also textile, gold and spice souks that are full of textures, colours and unique art of weaving.

4. Majlis Gallery: Perfect for all budding and established artists and art lovers, Majlis Gallery is full of talent shows, exhibitions and photography.

5. Dubai Museum: Situated at the Al Fahidi Fort, the Dubai museum is synonymous to the various changes that have taken place in the city so far. With an entry ticket of just AED 3, the area provides an entertaining as well as educating platform and shows the transformation from the life in a desert to the experience in a sprawling city. Various exhibitions, teak-antique doors, massive cannons, palms, boats and the artisans at work make for a picture-perfect sight in the museum.
