Go to question pageDubai may seem like an ultra-modern city of glass and steel, but behind the shine of the skyscrapers lie neighborhoods where one can feel the spirit of the past. One such place is Al Fahidi, also known as Bastakiya. As I wandered through its narrow streets, I felt like a time traveler. The traditional houses with wind towers, built from coral stone and gypsum, told stories of how people lived here centuries ago. I visited the Dubai Museum, located in Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest building in the city. Inside, I was greeted by exhibits that narrated the lives of Bedouins, pearl diving, and the trade that made Dubai what it is today. Don’t miss Deira, home to the famous markets—the Gold Souk, Spice Souk, and Fish Market. Here, the aromas and sounds of the East create a unique atmosphere, and the opportunity to haggle with vendors adds to the charm.
