Dubai | Feel Like You're in a Traditional Arab Fishing Village

In a modern city like Dubai, how can you travel back in time for 24 hours? The Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton is highly recommended. When I opened the wooden door with copper nails, I was sure I had stepped into a frozen moment in time.

🌟Highlights:
👉Why is it worthy of the name "cultural heritage"? The entire block and the hotel are a set. The buildings are replicas of 13th-century Arab villages. All guest rooms and public areas are built with traditional coral stone and mud walls. The wooden beams, wind towers, and carved doors and windows are a 1:1 replica of the original houses in Dubai Creek. Even the air conditioning vents are hidden in "pot" shapes!

👉The hotel was nominated for the United Nations Heritage Protection Award. It feels like living in the Dubai Museum of History. Check-in is in the center of Al Seef. Although check-in is at 3 pm, you can actually check in earlier. The rooms and lobby are in different buildings, which may be far apart, so you need a shuttle. But that's not a problem. You can see the layout of the scenic area along the way. The service from the staff in white robes is excellent, as expected from an international brand.

🚉Transportation:
The hotel is seamlessly connected to the Al Seef Market, which retains traditional wooden boat making, spice grinding, and gold forging. Guests can watch the craftsmen at work. There is also the most beautiful Starbucks in Dubai. It's a must-visit for influencers. The pier and Dubai Creek are also nearby, like living in a movie theater.

💰Average cost:
It's hard to imagine that the basic room price is only CNY 400–500 in April and May, and less than CNY 1,000 at other times. The cost performance is very high.

📝Tips:
It's far from the downtown shopping area, but close to the traditional market. It's not very niche. It's been very popular in recent years. Dubai is not just about the sea and desert. Here, may every lost modern soul find peace in the moonlight.
