Having
expanded along both banks of the Creek, Dubai is divided into two parts
- Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai to the south, as well as the
top tourist destination of Jumeirah.
Abras, the traditional water
taxis, are regularly used each day to cross people over to either side
of the Creek. Each side has its share of fine mosques and busy souqs,
public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks,
hospitals, schools, apartments and villas. Dubai is blessed with golden
sunshine and silvery beaches, world-class golf facilities and an
upcoming Sports City.
From the timeless tranquility of the desert
to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai does not only boast the best
contemporary sightings but has also preserved some of the most
intriguing historical attractions.
