Fodor's Expert Review Ahmedia Heritage Guesthouse

Ahmedia is a boutique and budget-friendly option in the heart of old Dubai. The bustling commercial area brims with tradition, with some of Dubai's oldest buildings, the spice souq, gold souq, and Deira fish market a short walk away. Three heritage Emirati houses surround an interior courtyard; the rooms have solid furnishings, wooden ceilings, and Persian carpets on cool stone floors. What the hotel lacks in modern glitz, it makes up for with friendly service and a surprising number of amenities given the price including butler service, Turkish bath, and a tour desk.
