Powdered spices, sold in100 grams

Strolling down the street shops
Technology changing with the times
This marina is connected to the main creek
The notorious creek river taxis
The textile parts of the night souk
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel

The shack to the beach
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!

Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
which links right to the Arabian gulf
which can snake on for ages!

Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
Another mosuqe down the street.
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
The Mercato Mall

And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
