City Guide Dubai - Accommodation, Sightseeing Tours, Activities, Attractions

 Dubai's population is Muslim, mostly of the Maliki or Hanbali schools. Although Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates is the most liberal part of the Middle East there are still many Islamic rules that should be respected by visitors. The alcohol laws must be observed and appreciation shown for the Muslim tradition of wearing suitable clothing and removing shoes in religious buildings.Dubai is the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. A century ago, it was a tranquil town whose coral-and-gypsum huts housed Bedouin traders and pearl divers. Today the merchants have gone international and science-fiction skyscrapers stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai.

Orientation

Dubai is really two towns merged into one and divided by Dubai Creek (Khor Dubai), an inlet of the Gulf. Deira lies to the north and Bur Dubai to the south. Both districts are home to traditional architecture and bustling souqs, but the old city centre is in Deira. Glittering new office buildings along Sheikh Zayed Rd (known as Trade Centre Rd) in Bur Dubai threaten to supplant it as the city's real centre of gravity.

The focal point of Deira's hustle and bustle is on Baniyas Rd, which runs along Dubai Creek; Baniyas Square, which used to be called Al-Nasr Square and is still generally referred to as such; Al-Maktoum Rd and Al-Maktoum Hospital Rd; and Naif Rd. On the Bur Dubai side, the old souq area runs from Al-Ghubaiba Rd to the Diwan (Ruler's Office) and inland as far as Khalid bin al-Waleed Rd.

There aren't really any street addresses in Dubai. People refer to the main roads by name, but the smaller, numbered streets remain largely anonymous. If someone offers you directions like 'It's in the white villa, next to the big tree, across from the Avari Hotel,' don't fret. Your taxi driver will know the way.

Dubai Private Arrival Airport Transfer
Save time and money and book your transfer services before you go! You will be met by an English speaking representative at Dubai airport, and transferred to your Dubai city, Jumairah, Sharjah or Jebel Ali Hotel. This is the ideal way to start your holiday or business trip.
