City walls are a prominent architectural feature in the urban context of ancient cities. These walls surrounded cities to defend and secure them against external attacks. Throughout history, there have been many examples of walls that played an important role in protecting cities, such as the walls of Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad. In the past, the city of Dubai had two such walls that define the context of the city, the oldest of which was built in Bur Dubai around 1800, and today it is called the “Old Dubai Wall.” It surrounded the old city, which included the Al Fahidi Fort, the Grand Mosque and residential houses; The second was built next to the monastery in the fifties of the nineteenth century. The Old Dubai Wall was built using coral and gypsum stones, and was about 50 cm thick, 600 meters long and 2.5 meters high. It was restored in 2001 by the Historic Buildings Department of Dubai Municipality.
