Deira is a district of Dubai.

Crowded, traditional and chaotic, Deira is one of Dubai’s oldest and most charismatic neighborhoods located world away and right next from the modern Dubai.

Deira is a large area in the city of Dubai, bordered by the Arabian Gulf, Sharjah, and Dubai Creek. Historically, Deira has been a commercial center of Dubai for a long time, before such districts as DIFC and Downtown were even built.

As one of the up-and-coming regions of Dubai, Deira has seen dozens of rapid changes with regards to industrialization and has evolved into a paradise, complete with incredible retail outlets and markets, while still retaining its historical wonders. Visiting the busy streets of Deira from crowded Gold Souk to Deira City Centre can greatly enrich your knowledge about the Middle East and Emirati culture, as well as broaden your mind, both spiritually and intellectually.
