Deira

Food and culture Cheaper for Dubai

ديرة · Dubai, United Arab Emirates

About Deira

This is old Deira on the north bank of the creek: the gold and spice souks, Naif, Al Ras and the Al Rigga hotel strip, not the suburbs out toward the airport. Abras cross to Bur Dubai, and Red and Green Line stations sit in the district. Streets are crowded and the buildings are older, which is also why a studio here is among the cheapest registered leases in the city.

Best for: Travellers who want the creek, the gold and spice souks and a metro, at the lower end of Dubai rents.
