Twenty minutes after checking into XVA Art Hotel we were back out on the streets eager to explore our most favourite district in all of Dubai. We took our time ambling along the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbouring before eventually ending up along Al Fahidi Street.
 |
| Dubai's newest-oldest historic district |
 |
| she loves this; the camel? not so |
 |
| remnants of old Dubai |
 |
| traditional Dubai architecture |
 |
| leaving the neighbourhood |
 |
| always fascinating |
 |
| ambling out |
 |
| the alleyway to the neighbourhood |
We headed west along Al Fahidi Street until we got to the area surrounding the Dubai Museum. Here we changed directions and walked north along the Dubai Museum until we got to the Shiva Temple.
 |
| roundabout at Al Fahidi St |
 |
| we were headed west |
 |
| distracted by the scents |
 |
| Brendan's favourite 'photo-booth' |
 |
| approaching Dubai Museum |
 |
| the Dubai Museum |
We then headed west through the alleyways along the Old Textile Market until we got to the Dubai Creek. Here we stopped awhile and had coffee at Mazmi Coffee and More, as we watched the boats sailing by.
 |
| past the Shiva Temple |
 |
| very narrow alleyway |
 |
| we got distracted again |
 |
| we then turned north |
 |
| toward the Creek |
 |
| and then we... |
 |
| got our first glimpse... |
 |
| of Khor Dubai! |
 |
| or Dubai Creek |
 |
| we sat at a cafe |
 |
| and watched the boats sail or pass by |
 |
| seemed a little out of place here? |
We were however still hungry since we had a light lunch back at JA Hatta Fort Hotel a long while back and decided to make our way back to the vicinity of the hotel where we were hoping for some authentic local cuisine.
 |
| leaving the Creek |
 |
| headed back south |
 |
| past some 'dinner boats' |
 |
| one last glimpse |
 |
| we took a detour |
We took the scenic route along the expansive alleyways of the Textile Souq Market before heading south along the Dubai Museum before walking east along Al Fahidi Street, and back to our hotel.
 |
| the textile souk! |
 |
| fascinating as always |
 |
| but we were wary of the prices |
 |
| peddlers manning their stalls |
 |
| through to another alleyway |
 |
| Cat didn't fancy the plunging neckline |
 |
| has it been 4 years since we last visited? |
 |
| she does fancy her spices |
 |
| and crockery |
 |
| made it out |
 |
| we'll be back tomorrow! |
 |
| headed back to Al Fahidi St |
 |
| walking south |
 |
| caught sight of the Grand Bur Dubai Masjid |
 |
| back down Al Fahidi St |
 |
| past the Dubai Museum |
 |
| it was getting chilly at 6pm |
We were going to have dinner where a camel stood guard outside!
