A walk through old Dubai

Turn away from the skyline for a while and follow the lanes of Al Fahidi.

The restored historic neighbourhood offers a more intimate view of Dubai. Traditional wind-tower buildings, galleries and museums bring the city's earlier life into focus. A guided walk gives context to the architecture and space to discover the details that are easy to pass by on a hurried visit.
