The mall main atrium
Well, only in Dubai!
kids floating on water in giant balls
what on earth's at the atrium?
Digging the cross linking stairs upwards
The atrium from inside
And outside!
A marina sits just off the shopping center
and is home to a number of yachts
Wacky architecture by the creekside

The marina-side walk
Enjoying the sunset
This marina is connected to the main creek
which links right to the Arabian gulf
A deserted amusement park nearby
Cool lan gaming centers
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Hitting the underground metro
To the Union area
Strolling down the street shops
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
The creek side Dhow markets
Technology changing with the times
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
The notorious creek river taxis
And is rather extensively used by the locals
5AED will bring you a mad dash across the creek
Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times
The spice souk
some of the various traditional stores on the souk alley way
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
