Deira.
/day-ra/· n. · Arabicplace
"The old trading district north of the Creek."

Gold Souk, Spice Souk, fish market, old covered market. The working-class heart of old Dubai — mostly South Asian and Arab traders, affordable restaurants, dense streets. Underrated by residents who rarely cross the Creek. The best food in the city is usually in Deira and costs AED 15.
