Attractions

Having expanded along both banks of the Dubai Creek, the city has divided into two parts: Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai on the south, and the Jumeirah extends into the sea.

Abras are traditional water taxis which are regularly used to move people to and from either side of the Creek. Each side has its share of fine mosques and souqs, buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals, schools and villas with attractions especially concentrated in Bur Dubai.

From the timeless tranquillity of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai not only boast the best contemporary sights but has also preserved the world's most intriguing historical attractions.
