Birthplace of Dubai
City performance
We recommend starting your acquaintance with Dubai with this walk through the Old Town
“Birth of Dubai” is a documentary city performance based on the discovered notes of Grandmother Fatima — a rare firsthand account of life in Dubai before the rise of skyscrapers. These notes capture real details of everyday routines, trade routes, family rituals, and the early steps of the city, allowing familiar places to be seen in their authentic historical context. The performance turns archival material into a living route and offers a clear understanding of how the city emerged, what it was before modern development, and what stands behind every element we see today. It is a journey after which Dubai becomes deeper, more honest, and far more personal.
