Deira

Deira

Deira is located in the old city, bordered by the Persian Gulf, Sharjah and Dubai Creek. Historically, it has been the center of Dubai, but has been losing its importance during the past few decades due to recent developments west of the City. Linked to the newer part of Dubai by the Garhoud and Al Maktoum Bridge, Deira continues to play a pivotal role in the development of Dubai, with many businesses and residents residing in the area.
