Elegant boutiques in pyramid-shaped WAFI Mall contrast with the discount stores of Al Karama, and art galleries are found in Al Fahidi Historical District. Zabeel Stadium hosts soccer games and rock concerts, and international restaurants sit amid curry houses and Arabic cafes.

An Abra is a traditional small ferry-like boat used to ferry people across the Dubai Creek in Dubai. They travel between the water station at Shindagha/Al Ghubaiba on the Bur Dubai side, and the water station at Al Sabkha on the Deira side. The ride takes about 5 minutes. The abras depart every few minutes.
