*Visited Places* : Dubai
*Dubai* : Deira
The town area of Dubai is simply fascinating. The amount of people gathered there during the weekend is simply crazy. I was at the heart of Dubai yesterday. Brought a friend to check out the museum. It was a typical brown square structure which was initially used as a fort, a palace and also a prison. Now, it is used as a museum to preserve it's historical sentiments.
*Deira* : The Port
Nearby the museum was a huge area of shoplots. Shops selling items which are way cheaper than what you can get in the malls. The latest camera which usually cost about Dhs 1500/- simply could go down to about Dhs 1100/- or maybe even less if you are really serious about purchasing the item. At the very end of the shops, we found ourselves at the riverbank. It's not just a riverbank. It serves as a port to transport people from one side of the river to another. The view was simply amazing! It was such a busy area that if you are in a group, make sure you don't loose sight of each other. One could easily get lost in the sea of people there. The port was divided into 2 sections, arrivals and departure. Boats would just come,
immediately pick up people and then go to the other side. As for the arrivals, the boats would come and let people down and then go off. It was simply fascinating to watch people constantly moving. Not only that, there were plenty of birds!! Fluttering left and right, they were everywhere!
*Deira* : The Shops
There was a shop we stumbled upon at Bur Dubai, it was a tiny shop which was as big as a store room. We had no idea what the shop was selling until after observing the shop for a while, we realised people are buying masala tea and drinking at the curb. We decided to be adventurous, so we bought one cup each. The tea tasted SO good! This is a picture of the shop with the masala tea. A tiny cup of tea costs Dhs 1/-. Basically, masala tea is tea mixed with all sorts of spices with milk. As gross as it may sound, it actually taste quite good. This area in Dubai is filled with Indian traders from the nearby countries. Since it's so filled with Indians, we called it the "Indian Street" of Dubai. Definitely a place to go when one is visiting Dubai.
