• DUBAI WALK TOUR
■ BUR DUBAI: It is a historic district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, located on the western side of the Dubai Creek. The name literally translates to Mainland Dubai, a reference to the traditional separation of the Bur Dubai area from Deira by the Dubai Creek. This is because Bur Dubai historically consisted of all districts between the western bank of the Creek and Jumeirah. The Ruler's Court is located in the district adjacent to the Grand Mosque. The district is home to several mosques including the Grand Mosque with the city's tallest minaret, and the blue tiled Iranian Mosque. The country's only Hindu temple is situated between the Grand Mosque and the Creek. Most Indian Families live in Bur Dubai. It is home to several popular places for tourists including renovated historic buildings and museums. The district has many shopping streets and souqs (or souk), including the textile souq near the abra boat station, though most of the well-known souqs are located in Deira.
The Al Bastakiya historic area is located to the east of Al Fahidi Fort (now home to Dubai Museum) and features old courtyard housing which are identifiable with their wind towers. Shindagha to the northwest, located between Bur Dubai, the creek, and the sea is the historic location of the ruler's house on the peninsula facing the sea and the creek. Between 2013 and 2016, the Dubai Creek was extended back to the sea, turning Bur Dubai into an island. Bur Dubai is a popular living area consisting of several apartment buildings. The Dubai Metro Green Line goes through Bur Dubai connecting with the airport through Al Ghubaiba Metro Station & Union Metro Station.
■ BURJUMAN METRO STATION: Formerly Khalid Bin Al Waleed, is a rapid transit station serving the Red and Green Lines of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE. It is one of two transfer stations between the two lines, the other being Union. Since it began service, over 15.611 million passengers have used BurJuman station, making it the second-busiest station of the Dubai Metro network. One of the first stations of the Dubai Metro, BurJuman opened as Khalid Bin Al Waleed on 9 September 2009 as part of the initial stretch of the Red Line from Rashidiya to Nakheel Harbour and Towers along with seven other intermediate stations. On 30 December 2012, the station was renamed after the BurJuman shopping centre (located just outside Exit 3 of this station), which had become popularly used despite being unofficial.
BurJuman station is located in the historic centre of Dubai, below the BurJuman shopping centre, after which it is named. Specifically, it lies below the intersection of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road. It is the closest station to a number of consulates, including those to Canada, Egypt, India and the United Kingdom. The station is also close to Al Seef (including a Marine Transport Station on Dubai Creek) and Karama.Platform numbers were not assigned, but instead given names according to the direction of the train. This changed in 2020, where platforms in all stations were now numbered.
