Plein air watercolour painting at Al Seef, Dubai. By Sunil Linus De

Описание: Al Seef is one of Dubai’s most charming waterfront destinations, located along the historic Dubai Creek in the Al Fahidi area. Blending the essence of old Dubai with modern comforts, Al Seef offers a beautifully curated mix of heritage and contemporary lifestyle experiences.

Designed as a tribute to the city’s trading and cultural roots, Al Seef is divided into two distinct zones: the heritage district, inspired by traditional Emirati architecture, and the modern promenade, featuring boutique shops, stylish cafés, and contemporary design. Wandering through its pathways feels like stepping between past and present—one moment surrounded by old-style wind towers and coral-stone buildings, and the next, a vibrant waterfront buzzing with life.

The serene atmosphere, warm evening lights, and continuous movement of the creek make Al Seef not just a tourist destination but also an inspiring location for artists. During his visit, Sunil Linus De created a beautiful plein-air watercolor painting here, capturing the spirit of the waterfront and the timeless charm of Al Seef through delicate washes and spontaneous brushwork. Painting on location allowed him to respond directly to the changing light, the textures of heritage architecture, and the living energy of the creek—bringing an authentic sense of place into the artwork.

Visitors can enjoy traditional abra rides, explore craft shops, and dine in a variety of international and Middle Eastern restaurants. With its blend of culture, art, and scenic beauty, Al Seef stands as a must-visit destination that reflects the heart of old Dubai while embracing its modern pulse.
