Al Seef or Al Seef Khor is a 1.8 km waterfront promenade along the bank of Dubai Creek in the Al Fahidi neighborhood of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The promenade was developed by Dubai-based real estate company Meraas and its construction was completed in 2017.

Reception:
Cristiano Luchetti, an associate professor at the American University of Ras Al Khaimah, called this project a “historical fraud”based on a critical interpretation of the usage of components taken from the features of the local architecture of Dubai without sufficient interpretative key and the use of artificially aged finishes and materials.

Similar sentiments are shared by other academicians as the project completely undermines the municipal and cultural authorities’ work in preservation and rehabilitation. Moreover, the Al Seef buildings, are an inflated and inaccurate interpretation of the old wind tower houses in Dubai, built of modern materials and aged theatrically to indicate hardship that is not even visible in the initially maintained homes.

Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai. Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, the city grew rapidly in the early 21st century with a focus on tourism and luxury, having the second most five-star hotels in the world, and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, which is 828 metres (2,717 ft) tall.

In the eastern Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf, it is also a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo. Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub. A centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, Dubai’s economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate’s GDP in 2018.The city has a population of around 3.49 million (as of 2021).
