Bastak is a town in Iran from which numerous Persian merchants traveled to the Emirates in search of trading affairs way back in the 19th century. This is how the neighborhood was named Bastakia, being now considered as the heart of Dubai. Tourists can admire the Arabian architecture, with houses that have been restored but still preserving the image of the Persian white homes, where the wind towers are symbols of that period. Most houses are open to public and visitors can enjoy a stroll in the peaceful courtyards, listening only to the sound of dripping cascades and admiring the beautiful colored bougainvillea flowers.
