The cosmopolitan city of Dubai has maintained its Islamic architecture and is
obvious by such monuments as the 'Jumeirah Mosque'. A chance for a photo-shoot
(if you wish) when the still of the moment guides you further towards the oldest
part of the city.Batakia remains nestled amidst a bustling city where one can
admire the serenity of the old wind-tower houses built by wealthy merchants at
the beginning of the century.
"Al Fahidi Fort' nearly 200 years old houses the Dubai museum and reveals
the history of this city. Travel through the colors of the textile market to
reach the 'abra' station. Then drift across the creek in 'water-taxis' to feel
the warmth of the city. At the other end we proceed across the busy alleys where
the aroma of the 'spice souk' filters the surrounding atmosphere. Finally, dazzle
though the glitters of the famous Gold Souk to round off the tour.
