Tourist and culture Cheaper for Dubai

About Al Fahidi

Al Fahidi is the restored heritage quarter on the Bur Dubai creek bank, a grid of wind-tower houses, the Dubai Museum fort and small galleries and cafes. You walk everywhere, which almost nowhere else in the city allows, and the metro station is named for the quarter. Few people hold a normal apartment lease inside the lanes; the surrounding Bur Dubai blocks are where the housing actually is.

Best for: Visitors who want wind-tower lanes, courtyard cafes and the museum, for a few nights rather than a tower lease.
