Dubai Deira is one of the old regions of Dubai. You find here many old houses and simple streets. Deira is located on the east of the Dubai Creek, it is known as a cheap shopping area. In this part of the city you can walk through streets with older normal houses, no glitter and glamour. There are souks, markets, and antique fisher and freight boats. However, modern buildings are slowly moving in at the border of Deira. Here you can see a mosque next to older houses but also one together with modern buildings. It all has its charm. On one of the main crossings you find the clock tower, a modern piece of art. At the Government Building of Dubai, you see enormous and beautiful pictures of the rules of the Emirate. It is amazing what they are achieving here in Dubai.
Dubai Deira is één van de oudste wijken van Dubai. Hier vind je vele oudere huizen en eenvoudige straten. Deira is gelegen aan de oostkant van de Dubai Creek, en staat gekend voor zijn goedkope winkelmogelijkheden. In dit gedeelte van de stad kan je door de straten wandelen zonder te worden overdonderd met veel glitter en glamour. Hier zijn er soeks, markten, gewone huizen, en antieke vissers- en vrachtboten. De moderne gebouwen beginnen echter wel hun intrede te maken en nemen de rand van de wijk over. Moskeeën tussen de oudere huizen en moskeeën naast moderne wolkenkrabbers, het heeft allemaal zijn charme. Op een drukke verkeersknoop staat de klokkentoren, een modern kunstwerk. Aan het overheidsgebouw van het Dubai Emiraat zie je mooie foto’s van de vorsten. Het is ongelooflijk wat zij hebben verwezenlijkt op zo’n korte termijn..
