Abra ride


One day we ventured to Bur Dubai with my friend Becky to enjoy a taste of "older" Dubai. We explored the gold and spice souks before paying our one dirham fare on the local commuter abra (wooden boat) that whisked us across the creek to the textile souk for more shopping. It is a fun late afternoon activity despite the fact that the souks are a little too touristy. You can still get some good bargains- I got a couple dresses for about 8 dollars that will probably only fit me another two weeks but are comfy!
