speaking about arches!
Look at the detail
complete with it's own Gargoyles!
They say a Hunchback lives up there
complete with Xmas tree to boot!
This cathedral makes my gothic checklist
The Notre Dame!
and what do we have across here?
The La Seine, Paris
The atrium from inside
and it's own ski lift too!
That's all folks! Check out other Dubai albums for more!
Fountains!
Back in Burjuman for supper!
Fancy chandeliers in the station
The trains are surprising spacious
Kudos for the metro!
for a connecting train back at Union
Catching a bus back from the street...
Roads lined with street markets
Extremely popular with the locals
Sikkat Al Khail Rd is like a budget shopping paradise
Nothing beats experiencing Dubai just like how the locals do
The place is well laid with information too
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
You can get rather good buys on local products here
Checking out the heartlander's shopping arcades
Gold glitters on every store front
Is essentially an Arabian gold market
Gold souk, as the name suggest
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
Is that a sparkle I see?
Various cloth on display
The textile parts of the night souk
We got to sample some many traditional tibits
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
An assortment of unpounded spices
which can snake on for ages!
some of the various traditional stores on the souk alley way
The spice souk
Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times
5AED will bring you a mad dash across the creek
And is rather extensively used by the locals
The notorious creek river taxis
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Technology changing with the times
The creek side Dhow markets
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
Strolling down the street shops
To the Union area
