and Bur Dubai to the south. Each has its share
of fine mosques and busy souks, of public buildings,
shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks,
hospitals, schools,apartments and villas. Dubai
is blessed with golden sunshine and silvery
beaches, world-class golf facilities and an
upcoming Sports City.
From the timeless tranquillity of the desert
to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers
a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors.

Bait
Al Wakeel
Built in 1934 by
the late Sheikh Rashid, Bait Al Wakeel was Dubai's
first office building. At the edge of the Creek
near the abra landing, the building has been completely
restored and now houses a museum devoted to Dubai's
fishing and maritime traditions. |

Bastakiya
The old Bastakiya district
with its narrow lanes and tall wind-towers gives
a tantalizing glimpse of old Dubai. Immediately
to the east of Al Fahidi Fort is the largest concentration
of traditional courtyard houses with windtowers.
In the past, the city was famous for a mass of windtowers
which lined the Creek on either side. These were
not merely decorative; they were the only means
of cooling houses in the days before electricity. |
