Delhi, Bhutan, Nepal & Dubai Journey Day Fourteen: The Sights Of Dubai, 3 April 2000

Rose early – played tennis and then had super breakfast (amazing muesli!). Sat round small pool for morning – washed and changed – then went on bus tour with guide Ali and driver Farooq. Saw hotels (Jumeirah Beach, Arab Tower), the Jumeirah Mosque…

…and drove through town, city centre, silly stops, then went round museum of Dubai (old Fort)…

Silly stops means those unwanted shopping opportunities that might occasionally work with some people, but simply waste time with me and Janie!

…then went to pick up water taxi – saw sites from creek…

…dropped off at spice souk – then walked to/through gold souk. Finally fish/veg Sukh and we said goodbye to tour (not too soon)

…and went off on our own to Riqqa Road. Walked to restaurant strip and settled on Automatic restaurant for shawarmas (very good) and juice.

This picture of us at Automatic a few day’s later when we returned there.

Early night.

You can see all the pictures from that final leg of our journey on the Flickr album linked here and below.
