introduction

The United Arab Emirates is home to a

rich cultural heritage that has been

strongly influenced by the

resourcefulness of its people who

exploited the harsh environment of the

region to the limit.

This resilience, in the face of extreme

hardship, was supported by society’s

tribal structure, which has bound

peoples together since successive

waves of migration, beginning over 2,500

years ago, brought Arab tribes to the

region.

The varied terrain that these peoples

inhabited, i.e. desert, oasis, mountains

and coast, dictated the traditional

lifestyles that evolved over the centuries.

Dubai Creek

Dubai Creek in 1964

The Most unique place for a Tourist in

Dubai is Dubai Creek. It is also known as

KHOR DUBAI its length is 14.4 kms Historically, the creek divided the city into

two main sections – Deira and Bur Dubai.

It was along the Bur Dubai creek area that

members of the Bani Yas tribe first settled

in the 19th century, establishing the Al

Maktoum dynasty in the city.

Historical SHINDAGHA

It was established in 1862,the area quickly acquired a historical importance late 19th Century when the city’s population started to increase significantly, at that time urban planning and constructing new residential areas became a new necessity in the city, moreover, Dubai’s ruling family and most of Bani Yas tribe used to reside in Shindagha since H.H.

Jumeirah Archaeological Sight

Jumeirah Archaeological Site is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the UAE, but the problem is, unless you like looking at old sites with nothing to dig up then it is pretty boring as all the artefacts from this area have been dug up by scientists. In the 6th century AD, this site used to be a caravan stop on a route linking Iraq and Oman, as back then the boards where completely different to what they are now in the 21st century. All items including Pottery, tools, coins and other items unearthed/dug up here are displayed at Dubai Museum and the Heritage Village.

Al Ahmadiya School

Al Ahmadiya school was established in

1912 which was the first regular school in

Dubai its located in AL Ras Deira

Which was renovated in the 1995 for the

use as a museum of eduction The school

like most things of those days, was a

sharp contrast to anything that we imagine

of Dubai today, it didn’t have electricity,

which means there were no fans or air-

conditioners.

Jumeirah Mosque

Jumeirah Mosque started building in 1975

and finished in 1978 & opened in 1979

the design is in the style of the Fatimi

mosque of Egypt. It is one of the most

beautiful mosque it is also known as the

minaret mosque because of its giant

minarets it was built by Sheikh Rashid Bin

Saeed Al Maktoum.

Bastakiya

Bastakiya It is the oldest area of Dubai it

was established in1890. In its prime, the

locality was capable of supporting 60

housing units, most of which were

separated by narrow, winding lanes.

Bastakiya is named after the Iranian town

of Bastak - many of the original traders in

Bastakia were from Iran.

It has many heritage attraction around it

such as :

The Sheikh Mohammad Centre

for Cultural Understanding was

established in 1995 to provide a

venue where tourists and expat

residents can learn about and

traditions through their "Open

heritage and the traditional aspects

of Emarate people.
