| Dubai
offers visitors a multitude of attractions, from the mystery of the desert and
its sand dunes and surrounding mountain ranges to the five star beaches and
hotels to the original Dubai featuring old houses complete with wind towers and
contrasting modern high tech buildings and shopping malls. Numerous dhows still
sail and trade to other countries and you can experience the activity of the
Creek and buildings alongside it by riding on an abra - a water taxi which
crosses the Creek from one side to the other. Alternatively, you can rent an
abra for your own private tour down the Creek towards Maktoum Bridge and wonder
at the contrast of old and modern buildings on the waterfront. |
