BASTAKIA (OLD DUBAI)

BASTAKIA (OLD DUBAI)

Description

The Bastakia Quarter, which is also known as Al-Fahidi neighborhood, was worked in the late nineteenth century to be the home of well off Persian vendors who worked n business of pearls and materials, and were tricked to Dubai on account of the tax-exempt exchanging and access to Dubai Creek. It is the oldest building in Dubai dated 1780s. It possesses the eastern bit of Bur Dubai along the brook, and the coral and limestone structures, dividers finished with wind-towers, have been amazingly safeguarded. Wind-towers furnished the homes  with an early type of cooling – the breeze caught in the towers channeled down into the houses. Persian vendors likely transplanted this structural component from their nation of origin to the Gulf.

Fixed with particular Arabian engineering, the thin paths are exceptionally suggestive of a former, and much slower, age in Dubai’s history. Inside the area, visitors discover the Majlis Gallery, with conventional Arab pottery and furniture and the XVA Gallery, the Arabian Tea House-an Arabian styled cafe’, Dubai Museum and Sheikh Mohammed Culture.
