Deira

Deira is located in the northern portion of Dubai with a good collection of mosques, busy souks, public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments and villas. Deira is connected to Bur Dubai by a tunnel and two bridges.

The winding streets of Deira feature a melting pot of different nationalities that have come to call Dubai home. The streets in the western portion of Deira are lined with shops.

On the banks of the Dubai Creek, ancient dhows load and unload with modern banks, hotels and office buildings for the backdrop.
