Bur Dubai is a historical district located on the western side of Dubai Creek. The literal meaning of Bur Dubai is ‘mainland Dubai’. It is in reference to the traditional separation of Bur Dubai and Deira, both of which are located on either side of the Dubai Creek. In the past, an Abra (a traditional wooden boat) was used to ferry people from either side. Nowadays, the Floating Bridge, Al Maktoum Bridge and Al Shindagha Tunnel connect the two neighbourhoods.
The community is home to historical sites including Dubai Museum, The Ruler’s Court, Al Fahidi Historical District/Neighbourhood and Al Shindagha Historical District. The community is also home to the Grand Mosque which features the city’s tallest minaret and the blue tiled Iranian Mosque. The waterside path of Bur Dubai features a line-up of dhows offering dinner cruises. The district has many shopping streets and textile souks such as Al Seef and Meena Bazaar.
