About Bur Dubai
Bur Dubai (بر دبي) is a historic district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, located on the western side of the Dubai Creek. It is home to several popular places for tourists. The name literally translates to Mainland Dubai, a reference to the traditional separation of the Bur Dubai area from Deira by the Dubai Creek. This is because Bur Dubai historically consisted of all districts between the western bank of the Creek and Jumeirah.
As of 2008, work was being undertaken to extend Dubai Creek back to the sea, turning Bur Dubai into an island. Bur Dubai is a popular living area consisting of a lot of building apartments. It’s a poorer area and is only inhabited by expatriates. The Dubai metro goes through Bur Dubai, and it’s full of small markets and souqs.
