Al Bastakiya (Arabic: البستكية‎)

Al Bastakiya is one of the oldest residential areas in the city of Dubai . Al Bastakiya is named after the Bastak region of Iran, from where many of the residents emigrated.

The construction of Al Bastakiya dates back to the 1890s. In its prime, the locality was capable of supporting 60 housing units, most of which were separated by narrow, winding lanes.
