Its skyscrapers and other features of modernity have earned Dubai reputation as a well-developed region. At the same time, Dubai also has many places of historic interest. Top your list of things to do in Deira Dubai with a visit to Al Bastakiya. This is a district which dates back to the 1890s. Over time, expatriate families settled down in Al Bastakiya. The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding situated in Bastakiya is the right place to get an idea about the Emirati culture and Islam. Al Bastakiya is also home to Heritage Village and Dubai Museum. Built in 1787, this museum building is considered to be the oldest in Dubai. All these places provide you with necessary insights into the history of Dubai as well as its neighbours. You can get more information about other museums and galleries located in the vicinity from the helpdesk of any hotel you choose to stay at such as the Avani Deira Dubai Hotel among several others.
If you prefer more modern attractions, another unforgettable experience you can have in Dubai is the cable car, which will keep you excited for about half an hour, and you will be able to spot the soaring towers of the Dubai Marina from your lofty perch. Creekside Park is another attraction that you can visit. It is located in Dubai Creek and lets you enjoy the sight of grassy lands and flowerbeds. If you are sick of sightseeing on foot, you can also rent a bicycle for sightseeing. The bicycles come in two types: a small one fit enough for two people and a big one enough for four people. A train is also available for sightseeing around the park. In a corner of the park is a spot reserved for barbeque. If you visit with friends and loved ones, you can throw a barbeque party here. If you visit with children, there is a playground and a Children’s City located in the vicinity. They can play together, while you treat yourself to a leisurely stroll in the park.
