| Bait Al Wakeel |
|
Built in 1934 by the late Sheikh Rashid, Bait Al Wakeel
was Dubai's first office building. At the edge of the Creek
near the abra landing, the building has been completely
restored and now houses a museum devoted to Dubai's fishing
and maritime traditions.

| Bastakiya |
The old Bastakiya district with its narrow lanes and tall
wind-towers gives a tantalizing glimpse of old Dubai. Immediately
to the east of Al Fahidi Fort is the largest concentration
of traditional courtyard houses with windtowers.
In the past, the city was famous for a mass of windtowers
which lined the Creek on either side. These were not merely
decorative; they were the only means of cooling houses in
the days before electricity.

| Bedouin Village |
Some local tour operators offer the opportunity to visit
Bedouin village outside Dubai. This provides an experience
of the traditional desert way of life and may include camel-riding
lessons. Those who want a desert safari experience with
a difference may choose to stay at Al Maha, a unique luxury
resort set in 3,300 acres of dunes off the highway between
blankets, rugs, beads and a variety of other rural wares
spread on the ground. Owners urge jockeys on to the finish
line while trainers speedily follow the races in fourwheel
drives which plough through the dust of the inside track.
The atmosphere is contagious!

is quite a popular spot for photography.
