Deira Clocktower is one of old Dubai's better-known road landmarks, built before the United Arab Emirates existed as an independent country. It stands at a busy junction where the roads from the creek, the airport, and Deira's commercial streets meet.
You do not need to plan a long stop here, but it is worth noticing if you are exploring Deira. In a city where many landmarks are recent and oversized, the clocktower is a modest reminder of Dubai's earlier trading-town scale.
