Weathered coral dwellings, traditional wind towers, and heavy wooden doors line the quiet coastal alleys of this historic old quarter. Established near the Arabian Gulf, this ancient trading settlement preserves the early physical legacy of regional seafaring and lucrative pearling. Walk through these peaceful lanes during the late afternoon to see the warm sun soften against the ancient mudbrick walls.
