Why go to Deira?

Welcome to the traditional side of Dubai. Step into one of Dubai’s oldest and liveliest districts on your Deira holiday.

Deira holidays allow you to catch a glimpse into traditional life in Dubai. Traversing the area on foot, you’ll pass by the Al Ahmadiya School (one of Dubai's oldest schools) and the Heritage House, which is a restored 19th-century merchant's home.

The area also features some of Dubai’s most famous souks. Get lost in gold, spices, perfumes or textiles! And, remember, haggling is expected here!

Getting Around Deira

🚌 Transport in the Deira Region

Tenerife is easy to navigate with a range of transport readily available here. The public buses are a cheap way for visitors to explore the island, but most holidaymakers tend to use taxis and hire cars as they offer that extra flexibility during your stay. There are numerous cycling and hiking trails for the more adventurous or daily boat services hopping between each island too.

Travelling by bus or carThere are comfortable, air conditioned buses which leave regularly from most of the main resorts and stop at the island’s most famous attractions. The smaller, local buses are slightly less reliable. Hiring a car is cheap, easy and highly recommended. The island’s main roads are easy to navigate and well looked after; the smaller roads can be somewhat of a challenge. Driving is on the right-hand side.
