Twenty-four murals above the 'handbag street' souk — 3D illusions, falcons and a floating green pickup, painted over one hot summer.
Dubai
Al Fahidi Wind Towers
Dubai's oldest neighbourhood, where coral-stone lanes are crowned with barjeel wind towers — air-conditioning from before electricity.
Al Jaddaf Dhow Building Yard
Dubai's last working dhow yard on the Creek, where craftsmen still build wooden ships by hand as they have for a century.
Al Seef Promenade
Nearly two kilometres of Dubai Creek waterfront split in two — a re-aged heritage village on one side, glass-and-steel pavilions on the other.
Deira Gold Souk & Spice Souk
Lattice-covered arcades where hundreds of shopfronts glitter with gold, and narrow lanes nearby spill over with saffron and frankincense.
Dubai Street Museum
Old Satwa's 2nd of December Street reborn as an open-air gallery — heritage murals by artists from five continents.
Dubai Walls
Sixteen global street artists — Blek le Rat, D*Face, ROA, Vhils and more — turned City Walk into an open-air gallery, including a six-storey mural.
LOVE ME
Richard Hudson's five-metre mirror-polished heart, aligned so the Burj Khalifa lands on its surface.
Wings of Mexico (Alas de México), Dubai
Jorge Marín's monumental bronze angel wings — stand between them and the Burj Khalifa frames the shot.
