A look back...and forward

The cultural district of Al Seef has recently opened by the Dubai Creek.  It is intended to blend the UAE's culture and heritage with contemporary design.  Half of the district is designed to bring life to the ancestral Emirati way of life, with inspiration from traditional Emirati architecture. The other half represents modern Emirati culture, infusing the modern elements for which the country is now famous.

Still somewhat undiscovered, we arrived midday to find this beautiful area very quiet.  Not all the shops have commenced trading yet, and those that had welcomed only a few visitors.  We understand that the nighttime is when this place really picks up, and no doubt it will certainly get busier during the day once people realize this spot exists. 

With keen attention to the small details, Meraas has developed a gorgeous and welcoming ode to Dubai's history and its future and our hope is that as more people learn about this lovely spot, the area will truly come to life.
