Bur Dubai, where the Ambassador Hotel is located, has always been a central area in the development of Dubai. Historically, it was the heart of the city, known for its trade, culture, and as the hub for Dubai’s early development. The district was home to traditional souks, including the famous Gold Souk and Spice Souk, and served as the trading and commercial center of the city.
With Dubai’s rapid urbanization in the late 20th century, Bur Dubai started attracting more tourists, business travelers, and expatriates, leading to the development of several hotels, including the Ambassador Hotel, a prominent hotel near Al Fahidi, Dubai.
