Old Dubai, Dubai

Also known as: Bur Dubai. Old Dubai, a stark contrast to the city's modern skyline, offers a glimpse into the past with its traditional souks and historic architecture. The Gold and Spice Souks are vibrant markets where travelers can haggle for treasures and spices. A ride on an abra across Dubai Creek provides a unique perspective of the city's trading history. Vloggers often emphasize the cultural richness found in the narrow alleyways of Al Bastakiya, where art galleries and cafes abound. WanderVlogs presents Old Dubai as a must-explore for those interested in the city's heritage and the stories behind its evolution.
