Al Bastakiya

Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood (Arabic: حي الفهيدي التاريخي; also known as Al Bastakiya) is a historic district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. History The construction of Al Bastakiya dates back to the 1890s. In its prime, the locality was capable of 60 housing units, most of which were separated by narrow, winding lanes. The town of Al Bastakiya was primarily built by the affluent Persian Merchants drawn to Dubai by the rich trade opportunities and incentives offered by the Emirati government. The district was named after the southern Iranian town of Bastak. In the 1980s half of Al Bastakiya was destroyed to make way for the development of a new office complex. The remaining houses were mostly used as warehouses or accommodation for foreign laborers. In 1989, the Dubai Municipality directed that the remaining parts of Al Bastakiya were to be demolished. Rayner Otter, a British architect, came to the area and made extensive renovation in the house where he was staying. Rayner started a campaign to preserve the area and wrote a letter to Prince Charles, who was scheduled to visit Dubai that year. On his arrival, Prince Charles asked to visit Al Bastakiya and explored the whole area with Rayner Otter. During his visit the Prince suggested that Al Bastakiya should be preserved and the demolition was canceled. In 2005, a project was initiated by the Dubai Municipality to restore the localities of old buildings and lanes. The name was later changed from Al Bastakiya to Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood.

La fundación de Al Bastakiya se remonta a los años 1890. Inicialmente contó con 60 viviendas, separadas por estrechas y callejuelas por las que soplaba el viento. La demografía cambió radicalmente con la llegada del petróleo, que motivó la migración de familias adineradas en esta parte de la ciudad.​ Las autoridades locales de Dubái iniciaron una campaña en 2005 con el objetivo de restarurar los edificios históricos de la ciudad.

Palác al-Alam

Palác al-Alam (arabsky: قصر العلم‎) je ceremoniální palác, který nechal vybudovat ománský sultán Kábús bin Saíd v hlavním městě Maskatu. Byl postaven v roce 1972 a je celý pokrytý zlatou a modrou fasádou. Návštěvníkům sice není povoleno vstoupit dovnitř, avšak pozorování zvnějšku zanechává rovněž velký dojem. Palác nebyl jedinou Kábúsovou rezidencí, sultán totiž běžně sídlil na jiném místě. Palác se nachází v blízkosti pevností al-Džalali a al-Mirani, které postavili Portugalci v 16. století. V suterénu paláce se údajně nachází kuželkářská dráha.

Al Alam Palace

Al Alam Palace (Arabic: قصر العلم Qaṣr al-ʿAlam, "Palace of the Flag") is the ceremonial palace of the Sultan of Oman. It is used for official functions like welcoming foreign dignitaries and heads of state. Old Palace Sultan Said bin Sultan had a palace, Bayt al-'Alam, built in the early 1800s on the foundations of the old sea wall between Al-Mirani Fort and Al Jalali Fort built in the 16th century by the Portuguese. The palace was damaged by tribal insurgents in 1895 but Sultan Faisal bin Turki did not have it repaired due to lack of funds. In the 20th century, Sultan Said bin Taimur spent most of his time in Salalah and had the palace locked up. It was demolished in 1971 to make way for the new palace. Current Palace The current palace, Qaṣr al-ʿAlam, was commissioned by Sultan Qaboos bin Said and erected in the same place between the two forts. The palace was designed by the Indian architectural firm Shapoorji Pallonji in a flamboyant style, and was completed in 1972. Its façade has gold and blue columns. The inner grounds of the palace are off limits, but members of the public are permitted to stop near the gates and take photographs. Surrounding area The palace is located on the north end of a 250-metre (820 ft) long arcaded plaza, facing the National Museum of Oman. The palace is flanked by the Portuguese-built Al-Mirani and Al-Jalali forts. The modern government buildings in the vicinity are white, with crenellated rooftops and wooden balconies in the traditional Omani style. The palace can also be viewed by boat from the harbour.
