On Friday, we drove to Bur Dubai and miraculously found a parking space near the Old Souk there along the bank of Dubai Creek. It was our first time in old Bur Dubai. Getting the parking space was a trying adventure in driving through herds of people without hurting them. But it was worth it. We also walked to the Dubai Museum and the Bastakia quarter where everything was closed for the holy day except for one little quaint restaurant tucked in a courtyard that Elizabeth found. It was like an oasis to us at the time because we were both on the edge of passing out from heat exhaustion. The photos below tell the story. We’ll be back there again frequently I’m sure. In fact I was just there yesterday filming the first of our video tour segments that I’ll have up on the screen here in the next few days. It’s a little rough in the filming and editing, but it should be interesting. Stay tuned.
