The 'Pearl of the Arabian Gulf' grew up as a seafaring settlement along either side
of the Creek, a natural harbour for dhow traders, pearl divers and fishermen. Deira
on the northern bank and Bur Dubai to the south are connected by a tunnel and two
bridges and can also be reached by abra (water taxi). Bur Dubai has substantial
areas of old buildings, atmospheric alleyways and souks (markets), including the
world-famous Gold Souk and colourful Spice Souk.
