A new cultural district on the shores of Dubai Creek has got EVERYONE talking.

Al Seef is Meraas’ brain child- the developer who has given us unmistakably modern places like La Mer, Box Park and The Beach at JBR.

Yet, Al Seef is a part of an area steeped with Emirati culture and history. It’s located adjacent to the Al Fahidi historical district, previously known as Al Bastakiya, and stretches along the creek for about 1.8 kilometer.

So, not only does Al Seef offer unique experiences of old Dubai’s local culture and heritage but is also home to some rather quirky and modern cafes and restaurants. It’s this dichotomy that makes Al Seef the place to see and be seen…especially for your Instagram
