This unique, ambitious project will become Dubai’s cultural center and a tribute to the city’s multiculturalism. An inspired harmony of traditional architecture infused with the colours of Arabia and every luxury demanded by today’s aspiration generation. Wide, open spaces lead to cobblestone walkways and traditional wind towers. Venetian waterways flow under arched bridges, whilst along the creekside, souks bustle with life and restaurants spill out onto the picturesque streets. A Romanesque amphitheatre will feature live performances and cultural festivals. The public library, exhibition hall and museums will provide a feast for the imagination. Within the creek, the working dockyard will recreate one of Arabia’s proudest and most magical symbols, the traditional wooden Dhow.

Within the residential areas, medium to low rise buildings will present a range of accommodation from elegant studios to spacious 4-bedroom apartments. Each building, although traditional in appearance, will have flawlessly modern interiors. Loft apartments reminiscent of stylish city living will offer work-live options for creative professionals. Commercial and retail spaces will be a part of the authentic charm of the cultured city. Design and architectural institutions, academies instructing in art, music and dance, as well as boutique hotels, speciality restaurants and designer coffee shops will all be attuned to the rich, cultural ambience.
