Big Bus Tour

Since the girls were off for the week we decided to take in some touristy things that we have not yet had a chance to do. We went on a big bus tour which goes into some of the older parts of the city. The tour stopped at a couple of museums plus several older souks. It was very hot that day and since it was Eid the streets were crowded with people. So we decided not to stop at many of the souks. I'm the only one who would enjoy shopping where there are no prices and you have to hangle for everything. The places that we did stop were good.

Here are some pictures of the Dubai Museum which is in an old fort in the one of oldest part of the city.



These are some pictures of the people in the streets. Check out the "itunes" store in the 3rd picture. There are never any copyright infringements here, we were shocked to see it (I'm being sarcastic just in case you didn't catch that). It is hard to tell from the photos but most everyone in the streets are men. Men out number woman 4 to 1 here because of the number of laborers for building projects. Many are from India.




These 2 pictures are from the Wafi Mall. It has an Egyptian theme.
