Dubai, being a coastal region, has been at the crossroads of civilisation for many centuries.”According to Dubai Tourism officials, places like Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, Dubai Creek, Al Marmoom Bedouin Camp, Alserkal Avenue and Jameel Arts Centre offer a wide range of experiences for history, art and culture aficionados. This neighbourhood, owing to its strategic location at Dubai Creek, played an important role in managing Dubai and organising its commercial relations overseas. Visitors can also stop by the remains of the old enclosure wall, Dubai’s Old Wall, a structure that was built around 1800 AD. The beautifully restored buildings retain the charm of old Dubai, while being home to contemporary restaurants, boutiques and cafes. Munira Al Bastaki, a Dubai Tourism official, says Dubai is a destination that can be visited multiple times for multiple types of experiences.
