which can snake on for ages!
An assortment of unpounded spices
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
We got to sample some many traditional tibits
The textile parts of the night souk
Various cloth on display
Is that a sparkle I see?
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
Gold souk, as the name suggest
Is essentially an Arabian gold market
Gold glitters on every store front
Checking out the heartlander's shopping arcades
You can get rather good buys on local products here
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
The place is well laid with information too
Nothing beats experiencing Dubai just like how the locals do
Sikkat Al Khail Rd is like a budget shopping paradise
Extremely popular with the locals
Roads lined with street markets
Catching a bus back from the street...

Kudos for the metro!
The trains are surprising spacious
Fancy chandeliers in the station
Back in Burjuman for supper!
Fountains!
That's all folks! Check out other Dubai albums for more!
There are many rooms of interest
And camel butt pointing coffee pots!
With some rather cute welcome camels
Up in the morning!
And here we are at the Ghubaiba Bus Station!
Wonders of public transport and a tap card!
Cabs are one of the best ways to get around Dubai
Some of the great sights along the way
For a quick morning tour of the hertiage sights in Dubai
Open top buses just like driving a convertible!
The Dubai Skyline in the distance
