Old Dubai l Al bastakiya during Covid

Use code with caution.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I took time to explore Old Dubai’s Al Bastakiya district, where the silence of the empty lanes made the history feel even more present. The wind-tower architecture, quiet galleries, and faded wooden doors told stories that often get lost in the city’s fast pace. With strict safety measures in place, I ended the day with a tranquil boat ride across Dubai Creek, the water reflecting a slower, more contemplative version of the city. It was a unique and humbling way to connect with Dubai’s roots during an unusual time.
