The Arab gulf and beach from the road
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!

And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
which can snake on for ages!

Gold glitters on every store front
which links right to the Arabian gulf
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!

A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
offering views of the distant skyline
The notorious creek river taxis

A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel

This marina is connected to the main creek
Strolling down the street shops
The textile parts of the night souk
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
