Sharing the honour of being known as one of the oldest areas of Dubai along with Deira, the Bur Dubai district is home to a number of impressive mosques and temples.

This video takes you to both sides of Dubai Creek on a visit to Deira and Bur Dubai.
One of the main attractions in Bur Dubai is one of the oldest residential areas in the Emirate, known as the Bastakia Quarter. The Bastakia Quarter is home to many fine art galleries, cafes, and boutique hotels. It is also home to what is believed to be the oldest existing building in Dubai, the Al Fahidi Fort.
Built around 1787, the Al Fahidi Fort stood to guard the town against raids from surrounding tribes. At times the Fort was also used as the Ruler’s palace. The Fort also houses the Dubai Museum.
Many of Dubai’s historical attractions are located in Bur Dubai. While the Bur Dubai area definitely holds on to its historical roots from the area's wonderful art to its old style architecture in the form of its housing and wind towers, Bur Dubai also offers some modern comforts in the way of 4-star hotels and plenty of shopping options.
Here are a few of the attractions you'll want to visit on a Bur Dubai excursion......
• Carrefour
• Spinneys
• Choithram
• Al Khaleej Centre
• Al Ain Centre
• The Burj Juman Shopping Centre
• The Old Souk/Textile Souk
• Arabian Courtyard
• Royal Ascot
• Majestic Hotel Tower
• Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai
• Dhow Palace
• Country Club Hotel
• The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding
• The Bastakia Quarter
• The Dubai Museum
