Dubai, United Arab Emirates



From a distance it glows, beckoning for eyes to adore its splendor. In the old part of Deira lies a maze of glisten jewels, called the "Gold Souk." Windows frontages drip with this color and every women is pressed against the glass to get a closer look. It is truly the old Dubai and as a participant in its chaos, you can notice and sense that this part has evolved more organically over time. Which is unlike any other area of Dubai. Importing, shipping, water taxis,tourists, expats roaming these blocks of traditional architecture all join at the mouth of the Dubai Creek. We walked through the historical streets that eventually dump on to the wider, faster, harsh streets of the modern Dubai. Exhausted.....in more ways than one.
