More about Dubai

Dubai is mostly about the new and the expensive but it also has the "old" part. The centre of it all is the Dubai Creek, which is, as far a I gathered, a human made, or at least human enhanced, salt water canal used as a harbor. You can cross it for one dirham (a third of a dollar right now) on one of those little boats. Once crossing it on this visit I saw a ray (the big flat fish) breaching, it looked as if it was trying to fly. Maybe it was trying to get out of the water which must be disgusting.

My favourite part of Dubai is the creek and my favourite part about it are the dhows which are still working vessels and carry huge loads.
