Gold souk, as the name suggest
Specifically the Burj Al Arab, a 7 star hotel
A marina sits just off the shopping center

a blast of zero G!
Nothing beats experiencing Dubai just like how the locals do
Sikkat Al Khail Rd is like a budget shopping paradise

To the Union area
Is that a sparkle I see?
Is essentially an Arabian gold market
More cushy seating by the oasis
As well a fountains you can fall right into

This marina is connected to the main creek
Technology changing with the times
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
The notorious creek river taxis
Strolling down the street shops
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel

The textile parts of the night souk
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
offering views of the distant skyline

The creek side Dhow markets
The shack to the beach
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia

Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
A nicely themed minetrain

Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
which links right to the Arabian gulf
which can snake on for ages!
Gold glitters on every store front
The Arab gulf and beach from the road

Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
Another mosuqe down the street.
