Dubai Map Art
Dubai's grid of rectilinear blocks runs perpendicular to the Persian Gulf, with Sheikh Zayed Road cutting a bold diagonal spine through the emirates. The Palm Jumeirah's artificial archipelago juts into the gulf in a frond pattern, while the Dubai Creek splits the older city into Deira and Bur Dubai, its waterfront lined with traditional dhow moorings and modern marinas.
