Dubai is the second biggest emirate of UAE and situated in the Middle East. Internally its geography is divided into two parts known as Deira and Bur Dubai. Deira is situated on bank of Dubai Creek.  The major difference between Bur Dubai and Deira is that Deira is less urbanized and commercialized in comparison to its other part Bur Dubai.


Dubai creek based water taxis is the only mode of transportation between both regions. If you are interested in the Dubai creek and want to get details information about Dubai creek, Click here.

 


You can find many alluring things in Bur Dubai whereas Dhow Wharfage is the only attractive thing you can find in Deira. Under the compound of Deira you can find all types of commercial and financial activities which also included the popular Dubai World Trade Centre. The below mentioned activities you must do during your Dubai visit.


 

Dubai Souk: Deira is known for its trading and capacity of doing business. The traditional souks can be seen in Deira only. All shops are available on road only and they are purely based on the legendary souks. You can get the traditional gold souks and spice souk, these two things are the best of Dubai and you must try them.

 


Shopping in Deira: This is the fact that Deira is not developed than its other parts but now things are moving from Bur Dubai to this region. But the same quality things can be obtained from the shopping tents of Deira too. To know more information of the deira visit website yahootourism.com.

 

Evening in Deira: Evenings in Deira will not excite you so much but yes streets can be seen more alive and filled with people. You will enjoy the original taste of Arabian cuisine including coffee under the open air atmosphere. You will love to see people wandering on street in their traditional costume. Fresh climate is one another reason that will bind you to stay here only rather than in any big hotels of Bur Dubai. 

 

Dhow Wharfage: This is the only thing that you must enjoy in Deira region. Visitors specially come here to see the attraction of Dhow Wharfage. While walking on the street you will see how local people do business on streets and you will feel that it is similar to old fashioned market of Europe. 


You can buy fresh fruit, meat, vegetable and all other useful accessories including mobile phones, cars, boats etc and this is the beauty of this market. Unlike big malls all things can be obtained but not from any AC packed shops but from the street itself.

 

 Comparison between Deira and Bur Dubai:

 

Both places are entirely different from each other and visiting them separately will give you a good experience to you. Bur Dubai is much advance then its counterpart. It has several malls and monuments and recreational center where you can entertain yourself.


 Here you can enjoy with helicopter tour in Dubai Whereas Deira is still waiting for developments and things are unorganized. Shops, restaurants can be seen on roadside. Yet they make you feel old Arabian folks and tales but difficult to move and no scope for entertainment
