Dubai Walkthrough Series: Al Bastakiya | Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood

See what traditional life in Old Dubai was like during the mid-19th century at Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. Located along the Dubai Creek, this district is a key heritage site which has preserved much of the original infrastructure.

The traditional wind towers constructed from stone, teak, gypsum, palm wood and sandalwood represent only a small part of Al Fahidi’s history. Each alley, twisting pathway and breezy tower tells a story of a life before the Emirates.

Social life, cultural development and trade were prominent throughout this period. And you can still experience what life was like within these same streets – a must when visiting Dubai.

Follow the winding streets in Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood to discover a plethora of cultural activities, museums, art galleries, special events and traditional food.

The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding is located here, where you can take a tour of all the different aspects of this district. Keep an eye out for the Sikka Art Fair, Artists-in-Residence Programme, Heritage Week, holiday events and religious celebrations like Ramadan.

Escape the skyscrapers and take a glimpse into how Emiratis from past generations lived their lives in this historical district.

About us:
Hello guys! I’m Xienon and my wife, Myla. We call each other Mako – short for Mahal Ko (My Love in English). We are an OFW here in Dubai for a long time now. Life here is not easy but in God’s grace, we are getting by. Nothing is permanent here in Dubai, sooner or later, we will come back to the Philippines or maybe we can try in another country. That’s why we’ve decided to vlog our life here so we have something to watch and reminisce.
