Is essentially an Arabian gold market
Is that a sparkle I see?
Bow to the Zorb ball
As well a fountains you can fall right into
To the Union area
More cushy seating by the oasis
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
A marina sits just off the shopping center
This marina is connected to the main creek
The textile parts of the night souk
The shack to the beach
Cool lan gaming centers
offering views of the distant skyline
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
Shaun + snowboard can only mean...
Gold glitters on every store front
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
The notorious creek river taxis
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
Technology changing with the times
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
The Mercato Mall
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
Strolling down the street shops
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
Another mosuqe down the street.
which can snake on for ages!
The creek side Dhow markets
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
which links right to the Arabian gulf
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
The Jumeirah mosque
Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
And the next highlight of our trip!
And is rather extensively used by the locals
twin beach resorts by the beach line
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
There's plenty of space for everyone alike
A deserted amusement park nearby
except for an occasional boat in the middle of nowhere!
The park's large main circular floyer
Back on the boogie bus!
These cool water dispensers are a real lifesaver in the heat!
