Deira is the bustling commercial area of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Historically, it has been the centre of Dubai, but has been losing its importance during the past few decades due to recent development. Traditional dhows still line the Creek wharf and, day and night, seamen unload goods destined for the many tiny shops that make up Dubai's oldest trading area. The area is best explored on foot during the late afternoon or evening, when the temperatures are lower and the traders are at their busiest. A new project is under construction, The Palm Deira, will be the new international icon with exquisite lifestyle and an upcoming future of Dubai, offering the latest in remarkable residential living.
