The map
Dubai runs along the coast of the Arabian Gulf in a long, narrow band, with most development between the shore and the desert inland. The historic heart lies around Dubai Creek, a natural inlet that divides Deira on one side from Bur Dubai on the other. On a map, the creek is the one old, winding line in a city otherwise shaped by planning.
Sheikh Zayed Road runs parallel to the coast as the main axis, lined with towers including the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Offshore, Palm Jumeirah spreads its fronds into the sea, one of the most recognisable artificial landforms anywhere, and the islands of The World sit further out as a scattered cluster of shapes.
Near the creek, the Al Fahidi historic district keeps narrow lanes and wind-tower houses from before the oil era. A Dubai map poster places these small, dense quarters beside the wide highways and waterfront developments of the new city, including the Marina with its canal lined by towers. Few coastlines have been redrawn so thoroughly in so short a time.

A palm-shaped artificial island off the coast, its trunk and fronds forming a precise geometric figure that stands out clearly in black and white.
The long highway running parallel to the shore, lined with skyscrapers and connecting the old centre with Downtown, the Marina and the southern districts.

Why Dubai
Dubai is home to a large expatriate community, and many people spend a few formative years there before moving on. A map poster of the city, with its creek, palm and coastline, is a clear reminder of that chapter.
