fun shopping area
Jun 2022
this is a fun shopping area (for tourists) made to look like ancient Dubai (or is it really built in ancient Dubai?). Doesn't matter, it was a fun place to walk through and we enjoyed Starbucks.

Historical and Contemporary!
Jan 2022 • Family
As a visitor you cannot visit Dubai without taking a trip around Al Seef. Historical sites, contemporary art exhibits, unique restaurants, souviner shops all alongside a waterfront promenade make Al Seef an iconic heritage district at the heart of the Dubai Creek. Sikka is a personal favourite of mine and a must for all art lovers.

A beautiful side of Dubai. It’s a must visit! Amazing experience walking through the streets. Lots of food for all price range. It shows the traditional side of UAE with a nice view on the creek. You can see many things related to old time used in Dubai.

Al seef area along with the souq is a beautiful place to roam around and enjoy the creekside views. It's a great attempt to preserve the heritage and provide wonderful experiences. The whole place is great for amazing photo shoots. Really enjoyed the sights and sounds!!

Avoidable

Boring place,not many attractions nor any facilities. This place looks fancy in adverts but in real its totally misleading - most shops are shut & rightly so because there is hardly any footfall.
