■ AL SEEF:
Al Seef or Al Seef Khor is a 1.8 km waterfront promenade along the bank of Dubai Creek in the Al Fahidi neighborhood of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.The promenade was developed by Dubai-based real estate company Meraas and its construction was completed in 2017.Cristiano Luchetti, an associate professor at the American University of Ras Al Khaimah, called this project a "historical fraud" based on a critical interpretation of the usage of components taken from the features of the local architecture of Dubai without sufficient interpretative key and the use of artificially aged finishes and materials.
Similar sentiments are shared by other academicians as the project completely undermines the municipal and cultural authorities' work in preservation and rehabilitation. Moreover, the Al Seef buildings, are an inflated and inaccurate interpretation of the old wind tower houses in Dubai, built of modern materials and aged theatrically to indicate hardship that is not even visible in the initially maintained homes. Familiar places, buildings and establishment include: Al Seef Heritage Market, Al Fanar Seafood Restaurant, Chokhi Dhani Indian Restaurant, Museum of Illusions, Doors Freestyle Grill, Canopy by Hilton Hotel and Hampton by Hilton Hotel.
■ AL FAHIDI DISTRICT:
Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood also known as Al Bastakiya, is a historic district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The construction of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood dates back to the 1890s. In its prime, the locality was capable of 60 housing units, most of which were separated by narrow, winding lanes. The town of Al Bastakiya was primarily built by the affluent Persian Merchants drawn to Dubai by the rich trade opportunities and incentives offered by the Emerati government, the district was named after the southern Iranian town of Bastak.
In the 1980s half of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood village was destroyed to make way for the development of 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 Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood were to be 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.
Landmarks include: Mawaheb Gallery, Arabian Tea House Café, XVA Gallery, Shaikh Muhammad Center for Cultural Understanding, Coffee Museum, Alserkal Cultural Foundation, Make Art Café, Al Ghubaiba Bus Station and Dubai Museum.
