Al Shindagha is a district of Dubai, 253 m from Al Ghubaiba Metro Station.
Al Shindagha is a compact historic district at the western edge of Bur Dubai, positioned along the Dubai Creek. The area sits within the older urban fabric of the city and functions as a transition zone between the traditional creekside districts and the denser commercial neighbourhoods to the east.

Historically associated with maritime and trading activity along the Creek, the district today is a mix of retained low-rise structures, pockets of redevelopment and waterfront promenades. As a distinct locality it is closely connected to the rest of Bur Dubai while sitting a short distance from central business and tourist nodes to the east and south.
