Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood

Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood stands as the only surviving example of pre-oil architecture in Dubai proper, offering a rare glimpse into the city's past through 50 courtyard houses adorned with iconic wind towers. Dating from the late 19th century, this site preserves structures that are over 120 years old. Visitors explore the Dubai Museum, art galleries, and the Bait Al Banat women's heritage house, all housed within the original buildings. With 200+ artifacts on display, Al Fahidi provides a data-rich journey into Dubai's transformation from a pearling village to a global city.
