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

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.
