Dubai Creek

Dubai is now famous for its modern buildings, sail-like hotels and a kilometre-tall tower, but the old part of the town still has some old charm. Especially the Dubai Creek, where even today one can see old wooden dhows coming in. They don't come under sail any more but they are nevertheless old wooden dhows. Some of the houses around the creek still have the wind-catching towers. Many of the houses around the creek are clearly new but in the old style, so the old charm is preserved.
