The 25 Best Things to Do in Dubai

"From its location within the emirate's cultural epicenter, Al Seef marries the city’s heritage with contemporary offerings. The 1.1-mile precinct that hugs the Dubai Creek is split into two areas: one dedicated to the past and another to the future. Meander through the charming laneways, stop and have a coffee or a meal at one of the many restaurants and cafes, or simply sit and watch the activity on the creek from one of the tranquil public spaces." - Melinda Healy

Al Seef - Marina Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"What’s this place all about? From its location within the Emirate's cultural epicenter, Al Seef marries the city’s heritage with contemporary offerings. The 1.1-mile precinct that hugs the Dubai Creek is split into two areas: one dedicated to the past and another to the future. Meander through the charming laneways, stop and have a coffee or a meal at one of the many restaurants and cafes, or simply sit and watch the activity on the creek from one of the tranquil public spaces. What’s it like being there? The bustling waterside precinct is buzziest in the evenings. Come at sunset for the best snaps. Is there a guide involve? Al Seef doesn't have dedicated guides, but there are plenty of third-party tour companies that make this a stop. Who comes here? Al Seef is popular among Emirati families, expats, and international visitors. Did it meet expectations? This relatively new urban development has been welcomed by both residents and tourists alike. To wander along the creek is to experience one of the oldest parts of the city, and that alone offers valuable insight into how the Dubai we know today came to be. Deira, the city’s main commercial district, is just a short abra (traditional water taxi) ride away, and the Al Fahidi Historical District not too far down the road. What, or who, do you think it’s best for? It's worth reserving a few hours to meander here. Evenings are best if you're keen on experiencing the landmark's bustling family vibe, and it's a more comfortable choice in winter than in the dead heat of summer." - Melinda Healy

On the harbour great way to spend an evening when things cool down and walk and check out the views and the market. Lots of great souvenirs you can buy and don’t be afraid to bargain.

I recently had the pleasure of exploring Al Seef Street in Dubai, and I must say it’s one of the most charming and culturally rich destinations I’ve experienced in the city. Set along the beautiful Dubai Creek, Al Seef blends old-world charm with modern vibes seamlessly. The architecture is a stunning mix of traditional Emirati design and contemporary aesthetics, making it a great place for photography lovers and culture enthusiasts. The best time to visit is definitely in the evening. As the sun sets, the entire area lights up beautifully, creating a magical atmosphere. The creek comes alive with boats and dhows, and there’s a calming breeze that makes your walk even more pleasant. The lighting, music, and ambiance are just perfect for a relaxing stroll. There are plenty of places to explore quaint cafes, boutique stores, art galleries, museums, and street-side stalls selling local crafts. I managed to visit most of the places, but Al Seef itself stood out as my favorite. It’s not just a destination, it’s an experience. Whether you’re there to shop, eat, or just soak in the surroundings, there’s something for everyone. Highly recommend it to tourists and even residents looking for a refreshing getaway within the city. A must visit in Dubai!

Just went here few days ago. Many shops open. Too little tourist maybe due to summer. Love the architecture of the building. They build just like the old times

Al Seef is a beautiful mix of old and new Dubai! The area has charming traditional architecture along the creek, with lots of cafes, shops, and lovely walking paths. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed evening stroll or a casual meal by the water. Peaceful, cultural, and full of photo opportunities

The best place to go for an evening or early morning stroll. It has a vibe that makes you feel relaxed, feels like different world altogether. Good place to pickup some souvenirs if you are a tourist in Dubai.
