Bait Al Wakeel



Located at the edge of the Dubai Creek, near the abra landing on Deira side, Bait Al Wakeel is a must visit attraction in Dubai. Built in 1934 by the late Sheikh Rashid, Bait Al Wakeel is a fine example of early 20th century architecture. First of its kind in Dubai, it was first office building in the emirate dedicated exclusively to administration.
