Historical Dubai
We started our Dubai sightseeing by exploring Bur Dubai, the neighbourhood where the old town is located. We had a morning walk in the historical Bastakia Quarter before we visited Dubai museum to learn a little about the history of Dubai.
After exploring Bur Dubai we crossed Dubai Creek in an Abra, a traditional wooden boat. On the other side of the creek is the neighbourhood Deira located.
In the neighbourhood Deira in Dubai you can find the famous Gold Souk and also the Spice Souk. We started by having brunch at a cafe by the creek. I had a wonderful Avocado Smoothie! It sounds really strange so I just had to give it a try. It was a nice mix of avocado, milk and honey. It was absolutely delicious. I have to try to make one at home! :-)
After our brunch we walked through the Gold Souk. We saw the world's heaviest golden ring, with a total weight of 63.856 kg, including the precious stones on it!
