When you think of Dubai, you can be forgiven for assuming it is all glitz, glamour and skyscrapers. There is so much more to this incredible city. One of our favourite things to do is to visit is the souk at Al Seef Dubai Creek.

An amazing day out for all the family, Al Seef has it all. We love browsing the stalls, conversing with the spirited shop keepers, having a coffee at what has to be one of the most aesthetic Starbucks in the world! Check out the opening times here.

Step into a realm where timeless tradition meets modern elegance—where the nostalgic charm of old Arabian streets seamlessly blends with the sleek sophistication of a bustling marina. Al Seef invites you to explore its enchanting world, from the gentle glide of traditional Abra boats to the opulence of luxurious yachts, setting the stage for a journey rich in culture and indulgence.

Wander through a lively marketplace where bargaining is an age-old craft, and stalls overflow with oriental jewellery, traditional garments, and unique souvenirs. But Al Seef is more than just a market—it’s a cultural haven, home to museums that unveil the deep-rooted heritage of the region. As the sun sets, cap off your experience with a serene dinner cruise along the bay, where the city lights reflect the magic of your day.
