Dubai photos

I think I figured out what the posting problem was.. my laptop was set to UK time so I think the time difference confused it. Anyway, here are some more photos from our Dubai stay.

Here are various shots of the water taxis (abras). We took these across Dubai Creek (a very big creek!) from Bur Dubai to the Gold Souk. It was great fun - just 1Dh each way (about 15p UK). We also visited the spice market and had lunch in an excellent cafe, followed by mint tea and dates.

Our hotel was excellent - the Arabian Courtyard Hotel, opposite the Dubai Museum. We liked being in the old city rather than a beach resort and enjoyed ourselves just wandering round the streets. I had to buy an umbrella to shelter from the sun!

Unfortunately, Niru's work commitments and evening meetings meant that we were not able to meet up. Maybe she'll visit Scotland some time?
