Deira United Arab Emirates

Deira (In Arabic: ديرة) is a region in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, bordered by the Persian Gulf, Sharjah, and Dubai Creek. Historically, Deira has served as the commercial hub of Dubai, but its significance has been diminishing over recent years due to new developments along E 11 road (Sheikh Zayed Road) and areas further down the coast toward Abu Dhabi. Port Saeed is a minor port situated along Deira's shore of Dubai Creek. Port Saeed accommodates some of the dhow cruises and small shipping boats in Dubai. Deira has seen significant development since its early days, with the construction of both overhead and underground metro tracks, the emergence of numerous shopping malls (for example, the Deira City Centre Shopping Mall), and modern buildings and towers currently under construction within the area.
