Nostalgia! This Photo Dated Back In 1975 Deira Shows The Longevity Of Some Of The Stores
An old photo of a side to Deira dating back to 1975 shows how some of the stores then still exist in that area today!
Talk about longevity and sweet, beautiful nostalgia.
Twitter user and Dubai resident Neil Grayson discovered the photograph on a Facebook group without much information but alas, he piqued the interest of others who shared a thing or two about the 1975 photo vs its 2019 state.
