This Old village of Dubai is just Amazing …!! | Bastakiya Village Dubai Updated for 2024

Al Fahidi Historical District, commonly referred to as Al Bastakiya, holds the memories of an era that pre-dates the federation of the Emirates.

Dubai is known for glitz and glamour, but before the tourism boom, before the discovery of oil and before the union of the Emirati tribes in 1971, it was a vastly different place. The UAE was an area of sheikdoms – where bedouins lived as herders, date farmers and fishermen.

Throughout history, the UAE was known for pearls and was used as a pit stop along foreign trade routes, including Persian routes to Rome, the Silk Road to China, the Portuguese African routes and the British Spice Route to India.
Dubai was once a sleepy town with a significant seafaring port. It grew out from humble beginnings on the Creek (Khor Dubai), the area we now call Old Town, or Old Dubai, and transformed itself to what it is today in just a few decades, (see the video below to see old pictures of Dubai and its neighbour, Sharjah). Enter the Dubai Creek, now a lively tourist destination, and step into the past.
