Dubai's restored old town: coral-and-gypsum houses, wind towers and sand-coloured lanes narrow enough to stay shaded for most of the day.
Wander freely between small galleries, courtyard cafes and craft workshops; the lanes themselves are open and cost nothing to walk.
Local tip: Come after 4pm, when the lanes shade over and the galleries reopen; mornings are hot and largely shuttered.
