| Discover Dubai from Old to Gold - Day 5 A visit to the Al Fahidi Historical neighborhood is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the old way of life, which was prevalent in Dubai, with its rich values that can be seen in the design of the buildings and the way they are distributed. For instance, one cannot overlook the community’s care of privacy that can be felt in the scarcity of the front windows, their narrowness, and highness. It can also be seen in the winding and twisting alleys and pathways, and all of the district buildings facing southwest towards the qibla. There is also a number of values and principles that will unravel once you experience the Al Fahidi neighborhood for yourself. The Iconic Dubai Creek area is the home to many Museums, including the Newest Shindagha Museum, where visitors may delve into the vibrant history of Dubai. It was developed as part of an initiative to transform the creek into a regional culture and traditional center. The Shindagha Museum tells the universal tale of human innovation, resilience, and the desire for progress which shaped the Dubai of today. We invite our visitors to explore the heritage, submerging themselves into the true Emirati culture and its origins. The museum also highlights Dubai’s shared heritage with the region and the wider world. |
