Al Shindagha (Arabic: الشندغة), sometimes spelled Al Shindagah or Al Shindaga, is a neighbourhood in the traditional centre of the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It has undergone major restoration works, to revive the historic area and its buildings.[2]
From 1912 to 1958, the then ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum, lived in the area. His reconstructed residence in Al Shindagha is now open to the public as a museum.[3] It is bordered by the locality of Bur Dubai in the south, and by Port Rashid on the west. The Dubai Creek runs along the district's western periphery.
