Explore the vibrant port of Deira, the traditional home of Dubai's souqs, and take pictures of the colorful dhows docked in the water. These traditional boats have been used to transport goods across the Gulf and Indian Ocean for centuries, connecting Dubai to countries such as Iran, Iraq, India, Somalia and Oman. Look closely and you may even be able to spot air conditioners, chewing gum, and car tires being loaded and unloaded.
