The old-world charm of AL SEEF in Dubai will TRANSPORT you to a distant ERA as you soak in the rich CULTURE of the UAE.

At a time long ago, traders from across the deserts and seas of the Gulf, and lands far, far away, would arrive on dhows (traditional sailing vessels) to the Creek of Dubai, bearing delicacies, spices, artefacts, and tales of adventure. And to rest their weary bodies, the village of the Creek—Al Seef—became their welcoming abode, as the locals opened their homes to travellers. Over time, settlements emerged, with restaurants at the souk (bazaar), fishermen and pearl divers began selling their ware, and grain merchants and spice traders added to the vibrant space... This became the destination that promised an exciting, bright future.

This distant memory from the dusty pages of history can once again be experienced by the modern adventurer at the delightfully-traditional, creek-side villas of the Al Seef Heritage Hotel. An oasis for those who want to escape the hurried pace of life and immerse themselves in fresh experiences, this must-visit destination offers a distinct take on the futuristic metropolis that is Dubai.
