Dubai

The hotel I currently am at
hotel pool

More of the hotel I liked the grounds of the hotel but didn't like the apartments so much, very dark

this is what the markets look like or Shouks as they are called here

this creek is where all of the shops are on either side of it.. you have to take a water taxis to go to one side or the other it cost one dirhem to get to the other side... which is about 45 cents

Some of the Dubai skyline, yes it looks this hazy wasn't just my camera, they say it gets better during the winter. Must be the hot weather

On the creek were all of the souks (markets) are

the gold suok goes on forever, as a realiazed the prices aren't that great but the display of gold and diamonds are truly amazing

the small boat in front is a water taxi that takes you from one side of the creek to the other. The bigger boat is what they use to ship all of the merchandise to other parts of the middle east. Everything is manualy loaded onto the boats from trucks... a lot of manual labor

One of me on one of the busy streets of shops

More water taxi's

Overall a very different place... look forward to exploring more...
