Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, also called Al Bastakiya, is the restored old quarter of Bur Dubai on Dubai Creek, with houses from the mid-19th century onwards built of coral stone, gypsum, teak and palm wood and topped by wind towers. Its narrow lanes and courtyards now hold small museums, art galleries, cafés and the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a wetland reserve of about 10 km² at the head of Dubai Creek, declared a protected area in 1998 and managed by Dubai Municipality. Mangroves, mudflats and lagoons draw greater flamingos, herons and other migratory birds, which visitors watch from three bird hides on the edge of the fenced reserve.
