A hour long bus ride brought us from the Atlantis to the Bur Dubai area which is the old quarter of Dubai. We intended to visit the famed souks or traditional markets here...
The lanes of Bur Dubai - this area is home to ministries and a significant diplomatic presence...
At the Old Souk...
Browsing through artefacts and curios...
Moroccan lamps...
Kaftans...
The presence of the Indian diaspora is evident here. The diaspora owns a vast majority of businesses here...
A thawb and a keffiyeh...
Pashmina shawls...
Spices and fragrances on sale...
Lovely lamps...
Or should I say Aladin's cave?
Stopping by at the Bait Al Wakeel restaurant for a light lunch, by the side of Dubai Creek!
Across the Dubai Creek is the Deira area...
