4. Bastakiya District (Old Dubai)
This tiny corner of Old Dubai city was established by pearl and textile traders from Iran. A walking tour of this neighborhood is like traveling through time to the late 19th century. The streets are lined with art galleries, cafes, B&Bs, and boutique gift shops. This is definitely a rare opportunity to learn about Persian culture and heritage within the Emirate lands.
Educate yourself at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding while you explore the art and architecture of the district. Pop in to visit the local shops that sell sculptures, jewelry, and hand-crafted artifacts. If you get tired from walking, treat yourself to a meal of hummus, mixed kebab, and a steaming cup of Persian tea. It’s guaranteed to satisfy any hunger you have.
