As the Dubai Metro starts operating only at 1 p.m. on Fridays, can someone please tell me what attractions (say, under AED 30) accessible by foot or abra from Deira open before that in January 2014?

What is "abra" where you say "accessible by foot or abra"? Some kind of bus? – hippietrail Jan 2 '14 at 2:31

According to these pages: Tripadvisor and Lonely Planet, some open places are:
- Dhow Wharfage - Open to the public 24x7
- An abra ride on the creek for 1 dirham
- Shops in Bur Dubai (Al Fahidi Street) are open for business until 11 a.m.
Additionally, the Route 8 bus runs along the coast to Jebel Ali taking 1 hour from end to end, from 5:30 a.m.
