Rush hour morning traffic is rushed!
Crusing along the Sheikh Zayed Road
and we are all ready to board the Abu Dhabi express bus!
After a short wait by the bus bays
Breakfast at the Station before setting off
Omg, the Abu Dhabi ticket queue...
And here we are at the Ghubaiba Bus Station!
Wonders of public transport and a tap card!
That's all folks for the heritage tour!
Zoom zoom back on the cab!
Arghh why so many Yachts?
Back on the creek for our next part of the journey!
Guess that is all the place have for exploration!
And camel butt pointing coffee pots!
With some rather cute welcome camels
The exit of the house, with a small visitor's center
Yeehaw!

Digging the view here of the creek!
There's even a photo opportunistic Balcony!

The upper floors of course!

And falconers
Camel riders
Photos of daily activities in town involving animal counterparts
Display of traditional Arabian jewellery

You can never fit through easily on the doors here!
The house courtyard, featuring the iconic wind tunnels
They have detailed replica models to boot too!
and architecture alike
including all it's loose bits
Including it's restoration works
Each showcasing part of the history of the house and Dubai itself
There are many rooms of interest
This house is a highlight of the heritage center trip
Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum house
and universities popping out of nowhere.
Such as open air amphitheaters...
Few of the many points of interest along the hertiage route
