You can visit a number of interesting, quaint places in the city of Dubai, a city attuned to the needs of the average tourist. In this article you'll read a little about the top three attractions that you can visit on your Dubai holiday.
Dubai Creek
Take an abra, or a diminutive water taxi at the Dubai Creek so you can take in sights of the vintage trading port and get a fluvial view of the dhows. The Creek would pass through the centre of Dubai, as this natural sea water inlet further stakes its claim as one of the most historical parts of the city. By taking a cruise to Al-Maktoum you will pass many landmarks, both historic and modern. Another impressive and picturesque part of Dubai would be manifested in the city walk, where you can learn more about trading in the city.
Bastakiya
Does it sometimes strike you as odd how people were able to survive the sweltering heat when there was no such thing as electricity, much less air conditioning? Look no further than Bastakiya, as this district hearkens back to the days when wind towers cooled the average domicile. Dubai used to be well-renowned for these then-sophisticated wind towers strategically located on both sides of the creek. Present-day Dubai is still replete with many architectural structures of a more vintage milieu, and these narrow lanes earmarked for development are still very popular with tourists.
Souks
These traditional markets are located all around Dubai and they are well-known with a wide range of different tourists, including photographers and those in search for bargains. The most popular of these markets would be the gold souk, where you can find a wide variety of different shops that offer anything and everything with gold at a very low price, including ornate rings, necklaces and gold bars. Eastern insight completely informs the traditional spice souk, as its diminutive lanes bespeak the odour of spice, incense and dried fruit. Also the modern fish souk bustles with activity but smells in this area are of a more unpleasant nature. You can find traditional pieces, rugs, bread and other commodities in the other side of the street.
While these three are what we feel are the best that Dubai has to offer, other attractions such as the Grand Mosque and Wild Wadi are sure to pique your interest and make your vacation in Dubai one that will leave you coming back for more.
