but it's not oridinary giant sail... :3
A marina sits just off the shopping center
The place is well laid with information too
Gold souk, as the name suggest
We got to sample some many traditional tibits
Cool lan gaming centers
As well a fountains you can fall right into
Nothing beats experiencing Dubai just like how the locals do
Specifically the Burj Al Arab, a 7 star hotel
To the Union area
Sikkat Al Khail Rd is like a budget shopping paradise
More cushy seating by the oasis
Is that a sparkle I see?
Is essentially an Arabian gold market
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
Technology changing with the times
Strolling down the street shops
This marina is connected to the main creek
The textile parts of the night souk
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
The creek side Dhow markets
offering views of the distant skyline
The notorious creek river taxis
The shack to the beach
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
which links right to the Arabian gulf
Gold glitters on every store front
which can snake on for ages!
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
Another mosuqe down the street.
The Mercato Mall
Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
twin beach resorts by the beach line
And is rather extensively used by the locals
And the next highlight of our trip!
The Jumeirah mosque
A deserted amusement park nearby
There's plenty of space for everyone alike
