Dubai is not about shopping and the world’s biggest. On the list of free things to do in Dubai is the Al Fahidi district. The incredible history speaks aloud the city’s culture and heritage. If you wish to immerse in Dubai’s gorgeous past, here’s a Dubai travel guide that speaks about the city’s glorious past.

Al Fahidi Historic District: One of the last few heritage sites in this sprawling city, Al Fahidi in Bur Dubai is where time stands still. Sandstone buildings, small by lanes, wind towers (air conditions from the days of past), art galleries and museums give you a glimpse of the days without skyscrapers.

Souks: Decked with all things gold, the Gold Souk at Al Ras is one of the oldest yet most famous place in the city. Head further down and you’ll hit the spice souk, a market that takes you on a delicious olfactory journey. Textile Souk, Perfume Souks, Vegetable & Fruit Souks are some other markets you can visit.

Madinat Jumeirah: Decked with an array of impressive restaurants, a petite water body, a rustic bazaar and loads of palm trees, this is where you must head if you wish to travel back in time. Curious how an Arab village might look like, this one will fulfill that wish for you!
