  • Dubai Creek – Take an Abra (traditional boat) ride along Dubai Creek, which divides the city into two parts, Deira and Bur Dubai. A saltwater creek called Dubai Creek runs through the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The Creek has played a significant role in the growth and history of Dubai. For generations, the Creek has functioned as the city’s natural port and trading route.
  • Gold and Spice Souks –  Wander through the bustling markets of Deira and experience the rich culture of Dubai through its vibrant gold and spice markets.

Jumeirah District, from where the beach comes, inspired the naming of Jumeirah Beach.
  • Dubai Opera –  Catch a show, concert, or performance at this stunning architectural marvel in the heart of the city. The ability of the Dubai Opera to change from its traditional theatre mode to a flat floor layout and even into a concert hall is what distinguishes it from other theatres. This degree of flexibility has been made possible by the creative design. The Dubai Opera seating arrangement can hold more than 2,000 people at once in its horseshoe-shaped theatrical configuration.
