As we stroll along the area , we got completely fascinated by its charm. This is surly one of the place where can take family and friends or can recommend to experience the charm of this place when they visit Dubai next.

It Launched in late 2017, Al Seef celebrates Dubai Creek’s beginnings as the famous coastal pearl diving base. Hugging 1.8km of Dubai Creek’s stately shoreline, the 2.5 million square foot development has two sections – a heritage area featuring old architecture, and a second space featuring more contemporary structures.

The best way to take it all in is to embark on a cultural walking tour of the pedestrian-friendly Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, before wandering over to Al Seef and exploring its charming walkways, fully-operational marina, dining boulevard and events plaza on foot.

Some of the first restaurants to open in the district were casual Lebanese outlet 961 LB, American-meets-Arabian diner Dukkan Burger, the homegrown Kava & Chai coffee house, and Sul Fiume, an Italian-Lebanese fusion venture.

Don’t miss the Arabian specialties at Ila restaurant, authentic Syrian fare at Al Hamidieh and sweet indulgences at Japanese-inspired dessert house, Yuki No Hana. On the water, Bateaux Dubai offers spectacular dinner and cruise packages too.

Top tip: Grab a warm cup of karak chai from Kava & Chai and head down for a relaxing stroll.

Best time to visit Al Seef

Considering the weather in Dubai, the best time to visit Al Seef is in winter. As it is an open-air space, you cannot enjoy its charm if you go in summer. Also, you can watch the sunset if you go in the evening. The spot looks elegant at night due to the streets embellished with fairy lights. The interiors of the different restaurants are equally stunning at night, and simply strolling through the boardwalk is delightful.
