Al Seef in Dubai brings old and new together | What to do | Night life | restaurants
At this charming attraction, beautiful traditions blend with modern designs, demonstrating the city's proud past combined with a bright future.
At Al Seef, we celebrate the origins of Dubai Creek as the famous pearl diving area. In addition to embracing 1.8km of Dubai Creek's scenic shoreline, the 2.5 million square foot development has been divided into two sections - a heritage section that features old architecture, as well as a modern section featuring high-rise buildings.
Originally serving as an entry point for the Gulf's most significant pearl diving port, the Creek's legendary presence can still be felt here today, as fisherman and merchants navigate the calm waters in sleek dhows each day.
A tour of the attractive Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood with its pedestrian-friendly walkways and fully operational marina can be conducted, followed by a stroll through Al Seef's dining boulevard and events plaza to see it all in person.
A place with a timeless charm
A notable feature of the Al Seef development is its emphasis on the region's proud heritage, combined with forward-looking elements highlighting the region's natural beauty. This old-world district is dotted with wind towers and sandstone buildings and offers a glimpse into Dubai's past as seen through its quaint sikkas.
Al Seef aims to pay homage to this traditional time of year with the introduction of an open-air floating market and accompanying creek-side pontoons housing crafts and textiles from the region, as well as Emirati art stands and pop-ups serving local cuisine. In addition to the newly completed 1950s-style souk, the result is a unique opportunity to be immersed in traditional Emirati customs and experience the lifestyle of past generations.
Dinner on the creek while enjoying the beautiful setting
Visitors to the region will appreciate the easy access to the region's stunning waterways, which will allow them to enjoy a casual family dinner, a romantic dinner or even a formal event. Several waterfront restaurants offer outdoor seating during the warmer months of the year.
Restaurants such as the casual Lebanese outlet 961 LB, the American-Middle Eastern diner Dukkan Burger, Starbucks and a Lebanese-Italian fusion restaurant Sul Fiume were among the first to open in the neighborhood.
We would like to recommend the Arabian specialties at Ila Restaurant, Syrian cuisine at Al Hamidieh, and sweet treats at Yuki No Hana, a Japanese-inspired dessert shop. There are also spectacular dinner cruise packages available from Dinner Cruise Creek Dubai on the water.
