Nice visit to Al Seef, recommended for seeing the old style buildings and shopping for bargains. Many places for food and drink, really good value. Great to stroll down the Promenade too and see a different side to Dubai

This is an impressive development on the creek. The development comprises an ‘old’ dude and ‘new’ side. The old side captures well the traditional building and streets of a classical Middle Eastern city. There are a large number of restaurants and shops, a museum of illusions and a couple of hotels. The whole area runs alongside the creek which makes further a beautiful backdrop.

Hotel is in a great location. I feel like I'm in Morocco n in a Indiana Jones movie. Plenty of shop n cafes right below our room. Room are small n have no electrical plus to charge phone from US ..so bring adapters..or ask hotel to bring you one..

MIRZAM Chocolate is must visit at Al Seef! Nestled in the vibrant streets of Al Seef, we stumbled upon this hidden gem of a chocolate store. During our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting the person behind the counter: Waseem, who exuded kindness and warmth. He patiently guided us through the array of chocolates, generously offering testers and sharing his expertise. We left with bags full of treats and hearts full of gratitude only because of him. Whether you’re a chocolate aficionado or simply seeking a sweet escape, this charming spot promises to satisfy your cravings and leave you with a smile. Thank you Waseem!

We are regular visitors to Al Seef when the weather cools down in the UAE. The redevelopment of the old Bur Dubai Creekside by Meraas is quite fantastic in my opinion. Inspired by the old Dubai architecture with sand stone and wind towers, they have changed the whole look & feel of this area. Ample parking in the lower levels, loads of eating joints of all types and the views across the creek are just fantastic! Definitely visit during the early evenings to around sunset time to get the best experience and experience Al Seef at night.

I do enjoy historical city centers, but this felt inauthentic to me. This entire area was built "in the style of" historical Dubai, and I did enjoy the scenery and the change of pace from the rest of Dubai. But I couldn't help but feeling that this was simply a veneer over an outdoor shopping mall. I stayed at the Al Seef hotel, which sprawls over a wide area, and I couldn't help but think that the idea was to locate the rooms so that you'd have to walk past lots of shops and spend lots of money.

Al Seef and Al Fahidi are absolutely beautiful. Loved the alley ways in Al Fahidi. A must see on your visit to Dubai. Took an abra from Al Fahidi to the Gold Souk and it was a lovely experiece

An evening in the fifteenth century. Dubai, a symbol of innovation and human progress, is filled with modern marvels. Yet, amidst this contemporary landscape, Al Seef Street in the Al Fahidi neighbourhood offers a journey back to old Arabia. Stretching along the banks of Dubai Creek for one and a half kilometres, the street is divided into two parts. One side reflects modern life, with stylish restaurants and contemporary buildings, while the other side beautifully captures traditional Arabic culture and architecture. As you walk between these sections, it feels like stepping back four hundred years in time. Here, you'll find buildings made of sand, lime, and stone, narrow mud-brick streets, and weathered wooden doors. Palm bark canopies shade the entrances to homes, ancient fishing nets hang nearby, and the soft glow of lanterns enhances the historic atmosphere. Among these settings, you’ll also discover various restaurants, including a Starbucks Cafe, designed in the traditional style. I spend my evening here whenever I get time, it is one of my favorite places in Dubai.
