    Souk Al Seef By Dubai Retail

    The tour often begins near the modern yet culturally-inspired Al Seef development on the bank of Dubai Creek. This area connects seamlessly to the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood (formerly Al Bastakiya). This neighborhood offers a tangible link to Dubai's past, featuring meticulously restored traditional buildings with distinctive wind towers (Barajeel), which were the original form of air conditioning. Visitors can wander the narrow sikkas (alleyways) and find cultural cafes, art galleries, and heritage museums. This stop provides a genuine sense of the city's humble beginnings.
