Day of Dubai

Even as Dubai’s skyline keeps evolving, many residents still use vanished landmarks — like the Trade Centre Roundabout or old shopping centres — as reference points when giving directions. Before GPS and Makani codes, these spots were essential navigation markers that became part of the city’s shared memory. Now, even as places like the Trade Centre Roundabout are being redeveloped into modern intersections, their names live on in conversation, symbolising nostalgia and community identity. Do you still use any old Dubai landmarks when giving directions?
