Bur Dubai

This was my favourite area in Dubai, because it seems to have some authenticity and history in the streets. Some souks (although not the best ones), the Grand Mosque, the Hindu Temple and the Creek are all well worth a visit or two.

Dubai Museum

Fascinating place set in the old fort, you can really see how fast the Emirate has developed from a small souk-based economy to the huge glittering city it is today.

Jumeirah Archaeological Park

I never knew that Dubai had such ancient roots! Such an interesting place, and so much to learn about the Persian Empire as well as the Umayyad Dynasty!

Textile Souq

posted by nelder on 16 November 2010 at 16:36

You can get to feel that Dubai is a bit cold and hard edged and lacking in a culture of its own. The textile souq is the place to go to see the traditional Arabian culture alive and well in the heart of the modern city. Fabrics here come from across Asia and you can buy pashminas, saris and shawls as well as cuts of silk and other textiles. Be sure to haggle and drive a hard bargain.

My wife and I went hee to learn more about the history of Dubai and it was great. Some really interesting artefacts and a really lovely building, and so nice to know a bit more about the place than just seeing all the gold and bling of the modern tourist-focused experience.
