I visited the interesting home museum of the poet Al-Oqaili (19th century) located at Deira beside one of the oldest souks -"Al Kabir"- not far from the mouth of the creek in Al Ras district, the area where the city begun as fisher port and trade harbour with India and Africa.
The Dubai Marina such as other areas with sound names like "Internet city" or "Nakheel Harbour and Towers", "Financial Center", World Trade Center"... are easy accesible by a modern metro, made just five years ago that holds the guiness record as the longest automated , 75 kilometers run by two lines, the green and the red, 47 stations.
The Marina is one more luxury complex, full of huge towers -Hotels and apartments- and water "rias" for the yachts access surrounded by exclusive restaurants and some art galleries.Highlight here is the unfinished yet "Infinite tower", I talked there with one inmigrant -not specialized worker- who said to me about his low salary of 1.000 Dh (250 euros). (I didn´t ask about).
You can not do absolutely nothing with this money in "Dubai Mall" or "The Mall of the Emirates" but around the, let´s say, old city -nothing is to old here- you can have a good meal around 20 Dh in one of the so many restaurants from all neighbours gastronomies, Indi, Pakistani, Iranian, Turkish, of course Chinese -where not?- apart from the arabic ones.
I tried some of them and were very tasteful.
I also bought 750 grs. of fabulous iranian dates by 10 Dh at the food market, first price accepted with my turistic look, camera hanged included.
It is advertized in some pamphlet I have that 150 nationalities live here, I talked with hindues, philippines, indonesians, bangladeshies, citizens of Myanmar, malays... and I see/heard/talked with tourists from all continents starting by predominant asians.
In the old area, both sides of the Creek there are several souks, guild style, spices and dry fruits, gold, textil, pottery...
The renowned grand Jumeirah Mosque it is the only mosque in Dubai which is open to the public -including non muslim-.
Although a tourist from Abu Dhabi remarked to me the importance it has the one they have in his associated emirate.
Jumeirah Beach beside is a wonderful beach with warm and clear water and great sunset facing one amazing skyline of Dubai city.
Early morning before leaving Dubai I visited the fish market located not far from the mouth of the Creek. 
The flight coming back was a fantastic crossing of the Saudi Arabian dessert within some oasis and a perfect definition later of Aqaba and Suez Canal.
