Bur Dubai, Historical district on Dubai Creek, United Arab Emirates

Bur Dubai extends along the western shore of Dubai Creek, featuring traditional souks, historic architecture, and residential neighborhoods with apartment buildings.

The Al Fahidi Historical District preserves the original urban layout of Dubai from the 1800s with narrow lanes and traditional wind-tower architecture.

The Grand Mosque stands next to The Ruler's Court, while the Hindu Temple and Iranian Mosque represent the multicultural identity of the district.

Multiple metro stations, including Al Fahidi and Burjuman, connect residents to other parts of Dubai through the green and red metro lines.

The extension of Dubai Creek into Dubai Water Canal between 2013 and 2016 transformed Bur Dubai into an artificial island within the city.
