Wall N Bricks
The Wall City (Wall N Bricks) does not exist in Dubai. You might be thinking of The Line, which is an enclosed mirrored megacity being built in Saudi Arabia as part of the NEOM development. [1, 2, 3]
If you are thinking of a walled city, you might also be referring to the historic Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in Dubai (also known as Al Bastakiya), which features traditional walls and wind towers that evoke the feeling of an old walled quarter.
1. The Line (Saudi Arabia)
The Concept: A 170-kilometer-long linear smart city enclosed between two massive, 500-meter-tall mirrored walls.
Features: It is designed to house 9 million people without cars or roads, with all amenities accessible within a 5-minute walk.
Status: Originally planned to span 170 km, construction scale has been significantly reduced due to budget constraints, with a focus on an initial phase to complete a smaller, 2.4-kilometer section. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood (Dubai, UAE)
The Experience: While not a massive walled metropolis, this is Dubai's historic equivalent of an old walled or fortified city.
Location: Situated along the Dubai Creek in Bur Dubai.
Architecture: Traditional coral, gypsum, and wood buildings that are clustered closely together with narrow, winding alleyways. [1, 2, 3, 4]
3. Dubai City Walls (Historic)
The Concept: Historically, old Dubai (specifically around the Al Fahidi and Bur Dubai areas) was protected by short defensive fortifications and walls [such as the old wall of Bur Dubai] that enclosed the town before its modern expansion. [1]
Could you tell me what aspect of a wall city interests you most (e.g., historic sites in Dubai or the futuristic Neom project in Saudi Arabia)? I can tailor the information to match what you are looking for.
