About
Relive Dubai's past and trace the city's origins in this storied neighbourhood where traditional souks, authentic dining and seafaring vibes thrive.
It all started in Bur Dubai, the oldest neighbourhood in the city. Long before Dubai transformed into an urban metropolis, this area to the west of Dubai Creek was the site of the city’s original settlement.
While the settlement continued to expand inland, the creek remained as Bur Dubai’s anchor, with dhows mooring along its banks to load and unload the goods which drove Dubai’s growth as a trading hub. And despite the development of modern ports for huge ships, the shores of Bur Dubai continue to see dhows arrive laden with everything from textiles to technology.
Because of its age and history, Bur Dubai is a dense blend of residential and commercial areas, with narrow streets and busy squares – making it a great place to explore for a taste of Old Dubai. The neighbourhood is also home to consulates, temples and the Ruler’s Court, making it a major cultural hub for Dubai as well. (source: visitdubai.com, 2024)

Deira
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Experience Dubai's heritage in Deira, a neighbourhood teeming with character, centuries-old history and spectacular souks. One of the oldest parts of the city, Deira is a key commercial and trading area for Dubai, where age-old markets sit side-by-side with modern developments. Located on the north-east side of Dubai Creek, much of Deira’s character comes from Dubai’s waterway, with the traditional dhow wharfage located on this side of the creek, along with much of the resulting trade. That spirit of commerce is alive and well today, with new markets opening up as part of the Dubai Islands development – along with the centuries-old souks. And from technology to tailoring, and perfumes to percussion, you can find anything you need in Deira. The area’s bustling atmosphere also makes Deira a great dining destination for foodies seeking more than haute cuisine. And it’s also perfect for delving into Dubai’s heritage and history, both through museums and by just walking around the district and taking in the atmosphere. (source: visitdubai.com, 2024)

Downtown Dubai
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Iconic landmarks, world-class shopping and beautiful promenades make Downtown Dubai a must-visit for any visitor. Other cities may have a “downtown” but Downtown Dubai is something more: a purpose-built neighbourhood which is home to some of Dubai’s most iconic attractions, including Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and The Dubai Fountain. No visit to the city is complete without at least one trip to Downtown Dubai – and there’s more than enough to keep you coming back again and again. Located around 8km from Dubai Creek, which was the city's traditional centre, Downtown Dubai has become a key cultural hub. Along with the malls and tourist sights, the area is also home to a growing number of residential and commercial projects, and is one of the most prestigious areas in Dubai.

Next to the main part of Al Barsha is Barsha Heights, which also forms part of the TECOM Free Zone – other parts of TECOM, including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Knowledge Village, are on the other side of Sheikh Zayed Road. Being part of TECOM means Barsha Heights is home to tech start-ups and media companies – making it an increasingly lively area. The stand-out attraction in Al Barsha is Mall of the Emirates, with its distinctive indoor ski slope rising into the air – but look a little further into the neighbourhood and you’ll find all sorts of fantastic things to see and do. Food is also a highlight, as Al Barsha is home to a growing number of Dubai’s best independent restaurants, so make sure you get a chance to sample some of the area’s eateries.
