Dubai Creek has managed to maintain its authenticity and versatility of fusing the past and the present through its trading connections with countries around and beyond the Arabian Gulf, a process that began with the docking of merchant dhows and the flourishing bazaars of silks and spices. This interactive piece highlights the UNESCO protected area with all the different landmarks that have grown along the creek throughout the years and the classic architecture that makes this place so unique.
