This vintage place tribute is a must-see on your next tour!
BASTAKIYA (BASTAKIA) DISTRICT
Address: Bur Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE
This old quarter of the city offers an insight into the pre-oil lifestyle of Dubai. The historic (early 1900s) houses found here pale in comparison to the skyscrapers that command the modern cityscape, but there is plenty of atmosphere and charm to warrant strolling the winding alleyways of Bastakia. Many of these renovated homes boast old-world wind towers used to funnel cooling air into the interior.
Open hours: daily
Admission: free
