Saved from a ruin in such a context of modernism madness.Al Fahidi Fort was built in 1787 and is the oldest existing building in Dubai city.
Dubai Museum which is inside the fort, was opened in 1971: it is a showcase for the traditional way of life in the Emirate of Dubai, for archeology and local history.
This panorama was shot during a 6 hours stop-over in Dubai International Airport on the flight back from Asia.
