Al Fahidi Wind Towers
Dubai's oldest neighbourhood, where coral-stone lanes are crowned with barjeel wind towers — air-conditioning from before electricity.
Dubai
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.
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.
Mohammed Bin Rashid Library
A seven-storey building in the shape of a rehal — the wooden book rest for the Quran — opened like a book above Dubai Creek.
