Description:
The old Bastakiya
district with its narrow lanes and tall wind-towers gives a
tantalizing glimpse of old Dubai. Immediately to the east of
Al Fahidi Fort is the largest concentration of traditional
courtyard houses with wind towers.
In the past, the city was famous for a mass of wind towers
that lined the Creek on either side. These wind towers were
not just decorative. They were the only means of cooling
houses in the days before mains electricity.
Dubai government is planning to renovate all the historic
buildings of the Bastakiya area to open more museums,
galleries, restaurants and traditional markets. The Bastakiya
district has been earmarked for tourist development, with the
construction of a museum, cultural Center, and an art gallery
that showcases local talent.
