When you come to the Middle East, you must visit the most famous Middle Eastern bazaar. Al Fahidi can be regarded as the old city of Dubai. Before oil was discovered in Dubai, this market, which started in the mid-19th century, was the most prosperous place in the area. Along the winding streets, we can see traditional wind towers, stalls selling authentic food and clothes. Of course, this market has been rebuilt and feels very new and clean, so tourists can visit it with confidence. However, just like other markets, bargaining is absolutely necessary to avoid becoming a tourist trap. The quaint streets along the way are perfect for taking photos. There is even a Starbucks located in a traditional building, creating a unique scene through the collision of cultures. Walking to the riverside, you can enjoy the view of Dubai Water Canal. In the evening, you may want to take a boat tour on the canal and enjoy the stunning sunset.
