| Short Answer: Deira is the name of an area that does not have a postal code. If a ZIP/postal code field is required, type in 00000 (five zeros). This encompasses all of Deira: Al Rigga, Naif, Al Muraqqabat, Al Muteena, Hor Al Anz, Al Baraha, Al Ras, Al Mamzar, Port Saeed, and all the neighborhoods in between. |
Are you searching for the postal code for Deira? So, by the time you make it to the Gold Souk, you’re heading to the Al Rigga for business, or you’re filling out an online delivery form, the answer is obvious: there is no postal code system in Deira.
Random numbers at the end of five digits have been provided in some directories and courier forms for Deira neighborhoods, which is wrong. The address should be “00000” for any address in Deira, including residential, commercial, and historic market districts.

- In the souk areas, give your Makani number to any shops and offices (many of these have the same street name).
- Usuall,y the name of the building followed by the mobile number is sufficient for residential blocks of Al Muraqqabat, Al Mutee,na and Hor Al Anz.
- Amazon.ae, N,oon and Talabat all have delivery to Deira (postal code 00000).
- DHL and FedEx: use international labels with the full name of “Deira, Dubai” and the nearest landmark.
- Before dispatching to Gold Souk or Spice Souk, check the shop number and lane with the person who will receive the goods.
Final Thoughts
Deira’s postal code is 00000; if any site has one for its neighborhoods, it’s wrong. Official and business mail are still sent via a PO Box, and courier and last-mile services are assured through a Makani number.
Deira is one of Dubai’s oldest and busiest districts, and its numbering system, 00000 (placeholder), PO Box (mail), and Makani (elsewhere) will remain unchanged. To use official postal services, visit emiratespost.ae.
