The Mercato Mall
Another mosuqe down the street.
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea

hanoi-confucius-temple-literature-033
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
Gold glitters on every store front
hanoi-confucius-temple-literature-013
hanoi-confucius-temple-literature-036
which links right to the Arabian gulf
hanoi-city-061
which can snake on for ages!
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian

Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
The shack to the beach
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!

The creek side Dhow markets
hanoi-confucius-temple-literature-038
offering views of the distant skyline
The notorious creek river taxis

A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
hanoi-confucius-temple-literature-031
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel

This marina is connected to the main creek
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Strolling down the street shops
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
The textile parts of the night souk
Technology changing with the times

More cushy seating by the oasis
As well a fountains you can fall right into
Is that a sparkle I see?
Sikkat Al Khail Rd is like a budget shopping paradise
To the Union area
Is essentially an Arabian gold market
Specifically the Burj Al Arab, a 7 star hotel
Nothing beats experiencing Dubai just like how the locals do
