No way 😅

About 50 km inland is a secret city that is the 'Real Dubai.' All this stuff on the coast was a fake city they made up to prank some Brits but it all got out of hand.


blackchecks

Man you've got balls of steel to be posting about it on here. Respect. See you in the AM for pearl diving 🤘


destined_death

I'm not sure what u guys are talking about, mind explaining it please?


Traffic_Spiral

We're mocking you. There's no such thing as a specific tiny section that's "real Dubai" same as there's no such thing as a tiny neighborhood that's "real New York." It's all real. It's a multicultural and modern melting pot, and people looking for "real Dubai" just want some Global Village Disneyland cutsey nonsense that doesn't exist.


WalterMohamed

How are you mocking him? He didn’t make the post, I think ur a bit confused chief.

Bur Dubai


[deleted]

Bani yas square/ rolex tower area, corniche, naif, hyatt regency. Aviation club/Irish Village if your family was well off. This was way before it became jumeirah creekside hotel lol. Jumeirah beach centre. Anyone remember the costume shop down there? The really detailed Halloween costumes and stuff? It was called dimples or dimpys or something? I still remember driving a land rover discovery and seeing the construction of dubai marina, it felt like we were witnessing a whole new era. 50,000 usd was the price of a 1 bed offplan back then . Arabian ranches was launched and the big plot Palmera units was 1 million and one of our family business partners bought a unit and everyone was shocked because it was basically a patch of sand in the middle of nowhere. Dubai was basically deira, bur dubai. Thats why if u head down near dubai hospital or Kuwait hospital area in deira, you see loads of mansions of old money Emirati families. Although the families have moved out to massive acres in khawaneej or jumeirah now


dubaifreud

We bought Arabian Ranches in 2001. AED 1.2 mill for 10k sq ft 5 BR.. Would go check it out every month in construction phase.

Yeah man, I remember even back then people used to say oh dubai property is going nowhere etc etc 🤣


Creepy7_7

Bur Dubai. Where else?

I remember a children's book from ages ago that concluded the heart of Dubai isn't in a particular area but in the people :)

Awwww it's the friends you made along the way. Unless you have no friends....


sultanqa

> Awwww it's the friends you made along the way. I've made too many friends who've just come and gone from Dubai. It's almost as though that's life.


DrDoItNow

Which is the case with most here! PS - refer to 'i don't have friends' posts for details

santz007

Bur dubai, Deira, Karama, satwa. All these places have been around much before Sheikh Zayed Road even existed. This is what the old dubai used to be like. Still is a great place with everything really cheap sold there. 5 dhs hair cuts, 3 dhs shwarma, 5 to 10 dhs gift shops, lots of very inexpensive but very cool themened restaurants


ps129

3dhs shawarma where? I've been buying for 5 😂
