Location Scouting Report #7: Souks! Souks! Souks!



Later that evening, we crossed Dubai Creek as we collected material on the various souks.
"Souks" is what they call the markets here.
Some of them are quite modern, like the "World Trade Center Souk" we visited on our first day here, but this day we were going to visit souks that still carried the atmosphere of yesteryear.



Our first destination was "Old Souk"!
This is a souk lined with stores selling cloth and fabrics, and is also known under the name "Textile Souk".
It was also filled with souvenir stores, and we had to fend off persistent barkers as we made our way through the narrow arcade.



Past the arcade was a wharf.
Here, we crossed Dubai Creek with a water taxi-like ferry called an "abra".
It was a simple wooden boat equipped with nothing but back-to-back benches, a small roof providing shadow and a cockpit seat in the middle.

Since you have to go a bit upstream until you find a bridge crossing Dubai Creek, these ferries are the standard transport across for the people living here in the area.



The ferry took us across the creek, to the area called "Deira".
By going down Al Khor Street, we arrived at "Spice Souk", which is filled with stores selling spice!
This is an arcade lined with spices, seasonings, herbs and nuts, bustling with an ethnic mood.



Our last stop was at "Gold Souk"!
When we entered the market arcade, the first store we saw was displaying "the largest gold ring in the world"!
Not only that, but every store was cramped full with gold jewelry...!!
Looking at this heavily yellow gold felt almost like watching a cartoon. It was a veritable treasure chamber!
This sight would've definitely made the Rocket Gang trio overjoyed!
