Discover Al Seef
Launched in late 2017, Al Seef celebrates Dubai Creek’s beginnings as a coastal pearl diving base. Hugging 1.8km of Dubai Creek’s shoreline, the 2.5 million square foot development has two sections – a heritage area featuring old architecture, and a second space featuring more contemporary structures.

Once a vibrant entryway to the Gulf’s most successful pearl diving port, the Creek’s historic presence can still be felt today here, with fisherman and merchants criss-crossing the calm waters in dhow boats as part of their daily routine. The best way to take it all in is to embark on a cultural walking tour of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, before wandering over to Al Seef and exploring its charming walkways, fully-operational marina, dining boulevard and events plaza on foot.

Top tip: Al Seef is easily reachable on public transport, with Sharaf DG and BurJuman metro stations close to the location.
