Originally, the residents of Al Satwa were mainly of the Baloch tribe. As the government provided better housing for Emiratis, only few Arabs continue to reside here. Al Satwa is known for its large and vibrant South Asian and Filipino community. It is often referred to as "Mini-Manila" by the Dubai Filipino community.
Al Satwa is the subject of the critically acclaimed spoken word piece/photo-novella, Satwa stories, by Mahmoud Kaabour and Denise Holloway of Veritas Films. The project highlights the hidden gems and iconic characters of the Satwa neighborhood through poetry, photography, and music.
