The Urban Fabric - Streetscapes

With a large number of alleys and minor roads running through cramped buildings. Bur Dubai presents itself as a new experience completely, the congested traffic, and most buildings being 3-4 stories high, truly make Deira stand out with a traditional charm from the rest of Dubai's more well-known modern- taller storeyed architecture.

Alleyways between buildings offer a refreshing breeze and refuge from the sun and surrounding noiseness

Follow your nose from the Gold Souk to discover tiny alleyways lined with sacks full of fresh spices from all around the region. Several alleyways are also packed with coffeeshops all over the place, Most alleyways with spice and food shops also tend to smell far better than other surrounding places

Several Wholesale stores along minor roads around the Deira Souk. Narrow 1lane and 2-lane streets provide lots of shade from buildings, As well as better wind movement
