DESTINATION

Explore the Shores of Deira

“Historically, Deira was once the commercial center of Dubai. Over the years, the area has built upon its roots and now offers both overhead and underground metro tracks for easy connectivity to the rest of the city, as well as a number of shopping malls – including The City Centre Deira Shopping Mall and Nesto Hypermarket Burj Nahar Mall) and modern commercial towers and buildings.

The Dubai neighbourhood is also particularly suited to those visiting the emirate for short- or long-term stays, whether for business or leisure, as it is only 17 minutes away from Dubai International Airport and situated in close proximity to a number of business districts and famous landmarks and attractions that include Shindagha Heritage Village, Gold Souk, Spice Market and, of course, Dubai Creek.

Deira is also home to an exciting new development project by Ithra Dubai – an enhanced Waterfront aimed to improve the quality of life for the neighbourhoods residents and visitors. Home to residential towers, hotels, diverse leisure destinations and a private marina, Deira Waterfront is set to become the area’s crown jewel.

The Deira Waterfront forms part of the Deira Enrichment Project – an ambitious task that will see 700+ shops, 40+ restaurants, 4 neighbourhood parks, kids play areas, 8 swimming pools, gyms and 721,182 sq ft. of office space and much more being added to vibrant district.”
