Burj Nahar

Restored 1870 watchtower in Deira's old quarter

Address Deira, Al Rasheed Rd

One of the many watchtowers that once guarded old Dubai, Burj Nahar dates to around 1870 and was restored in 1992. It sits in a small, well-kept garden in Deira — a quiet spot amid the bustle of the surrounding streets. The tower and its grounds are popular with photographers, especially in the late afternoon light. Free entry.
