18b Street Murals, Karama
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.
Concrete by OMA
Rem Koolhaas's first building in the UAE — four warehouses fused into a shape-shifting arts space with pivoting walls and a sprayed-concrete skin.
Dubai Street Museum
Old Satwa's 2nd of December Street reborn as an open-air gallery — heritage murals by artists from five continents.
