Muhaisnah 2, 3 and 4 comprise an area that was once a burial ground.[2] These sub-localities now house several collective labour accommodations and labour camps for the mainly South Asian labourers that service the industrial areas of Al Qusais, as well as construction workers who mainly support real estate projects south of Dubai Creek.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". This area is referred to as Sonapur (literally, Land of Gold in Urdu/Hindi) by expatriate labourers.[2] In 2006, living conditions in the collective labour camps were criticised by Human Rights Watch as being "less than human".[3] As a result of the criticism, the Dubai government closed down 100 labour camps that failed to meet basic standards set by the Dubai Municipality.[4]
