Sightseeing and food scene
The construction of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood dates back to the 1890s. In its prime, the locality was capable of 60 housing units, mostly separated by narrow, winding lanes. Al Bastakiya was primarily built by immigrants from the city of Bastak, Persia who left their native homeland due to ongoing religious persecution and tax breaks, and incentives offered by the Emirati government.
In the 1980s, half of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood village was destroyed to make way for developing a new office complex. The remaining houses were mostly used as warehouses or accommodation for foreign laborers. In 1989, the Dubai Municipality directed that the remaining parts of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood were demolished. Rayner Otter, a British architect, came to the area and made extensive renovation in the house where he was staying. Rayner started a campaign to preserve the area and wrote a letter to Prince Charles, who was scheduled to visit Dubai that year. On his arrival, Prince Charles asked to visit Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood and explored the whole area with Rayner Otter. During his visit, the Prince suggested that Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood should be preserved, and the demolition was canceled.
In 2005, a project was initiated by the Dubai Municipality to restore the localities of old buildings and lanes.

THE BEST OF DUBAI UNDER ONE ROOF
What happens when a slick media company endeavors to bring together the best of the city under one roof? You get Time Out Market, a dining-and-culture experience curated and vetted by our editors.
It’s a concept our Time Out Portugal team created in 2014, then launched inside the city’s historic market, Mercado da Ribeira. With eight bars, a dozen shops, a high-end music venue and 24 restaurants—from the best burger spot and the top steak joint to the tastiest sushi sensation—Lisbon’s finest eateries are all represented. This unique mix of traditional and trendy is something you’ll find only at Time Out Market Lisbon.
And it didn’t stop there: The concept has grown to include Markets in Miami, Boston, New York, Chicago and Montréal. Now, Time Out Market Dubai picks up the baton and introduces the City of Gold to its own version of this tried-and-true culinary hub in Downtown’s Souk Al Bahar. Spread across 43,000 square feet, the curated dining destination emcompasses 17 eateries, three bars, a sweeping outdoor terrace and so much more into one space that encompasses the best food, drinks and culture that Dubai has to offer.
As in its predecessors, the Dubai outpost follows a simple rule when it comes to curation: If it’s great, it goes in the magazine; if it’s unmissable, it goes in the Market. A meal at Time Out Market Dubai means you’re truly digging into the city’s most delicious dishes, cooked by the most exciting talent in town. What you’ll find inside is a hand-selected array of everything you could want to eat, drink and see in the greatest city in the world, all under one roof.
