Dubai Intro

by mi5chelle - last update: Apr 11, 2005

City with lots to do

downtown biz district
Passed through Dubai on 10 April 2005 and decided to stay downtown in Deira to check the scene there. Took public buses - cheaper than taxis! -- and got to see some slums of the 'guest workers' from India, Bangledesh, Philipinnes, etc. Very interesting. There is not all glitter and gold in Dubai.

I go through Dubai just about everytime I leave Afghanistan and head West, so I will try to build up a nice page with a lot of info as the next year moves on. So far, I think the city is bit on the bland side but there are many activities to do: from ice skating, to shopping, to desert safaris. I haven't done all these activites, yet, but as I do, the rating and info will come
