Persian traders settled here in the 19th century and named the newly founded district Bastak after their homeland. Since the district was in danger of falling into disrepair, the old building structure was renewed using the original materials as part of a comprehensive renovation. Nice contrast to modern Dubai.

The Coffee Museum gives an insight into the coffee culture of Dubai. Arabic coffee with dates is served as a welcome. A sample was served in the photo. There are i.a. several German coffee cans exhibited. Admission costs 15 dirhams including coffee as of December 2022.
