Bur Dubai and its neighbours combine heritage and healthcare with everyday commerce: the Al Fahidi historic district, the shops of Karama, the hospitals of Oud Metha and Healthcare City, and the creek-side developments of Al Jaddaf.
This guide covers Bur Dubai, Al Karama, Oud Metha and Healthcare City and Al Jaddaf and explains how I plan websites, online stores and web applications for businesses in this part of Dubai. Each area has its own section, so you can jump straight to yours.

What works online in a heritage and trading district
Heritage and trading districts have deep offline reputations but often thin online footprints. A clear website, an accurate map listing, product or service pages and WhatsApp ordering turn foot traffic into repeat customers and reach buyers who have never visited the souk. Photography of real products and honest prices build trust quickly.
Healthcare, heritage tourism and everyday retail all sit within a few kilometres, so each needs a different page style. Clinics should show licences and doctors, tour operators should show itineraries, and shops should show prices and WhatsApp contact.
