The
Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, also known as
Al Bastakiya, was one of the earliest settlements in Dubai. It is named after the Bastak region of Iran, from where many Iranian textile and pearl merchants emigrated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to avoid taxes. They were invited by the Emir of Dubai.
In addition to a mosque and the old city wall, there are restaurants, museums, and art galleries. However, the best parts of Bastakiya are the many enchanting rooftops, shops, courtyards, and corridors - a great place to get lost!
