Dubai Creek and the souks







This is just yesterday that me and one of my dearest friends decided to go to the Dubai Creek - again! Truth to be said, last time we went there, we didn't get a chance to buy anything as it was Ramadan and the entire souk was closed. Dubai Creek is actually the very centre of the city, the old-school part so to say, where we can still see old ships sailing to and from Africa and opt for equally coumbersome yet amazing means of transport - abra, which would help us to check the next point on our to-do list: a supermarket. Isn't that amazing: yep, I took a boat today to go to the shopping mall. But before uploading tons of shopping on the way back as our tube cargo, we explored the spice souk as well as the gold souk which apparently has most competitive prices of gold in the world. Just a little advice of mine: do bargain, the prices are never fixed so you can do everything even three times less cheap comparing to the original price. Just one more stop at one of our favourites Hindu restaurants where we would indulge on healthy, delicious yet extravagantly spicy foods for as little as 25 dirhams, for the two of us. Ah, isn't that great? Had it not been for the extreme heat though...
