We spent a pleasant evening on the boat which hardly moved. It made just one trip up and down the creek and we had a glimpse of the skyscrapers on both sides. The food was, however, excellent and the service quite good.

A real experience travelling on the abra (wooden boat) across the creek to the old area. There are boats going everywhere and it's worthwhile to visit the souks on the other side.

I bought a tour and went round the creek in a boat ride; it was fun and enjoyable.There are some pretty good views of the city's skyline. One also gets to see the old port from where Dubai grew.

Take the abra trip, walk up to the docks, visit the waterfront and watch the life on the dhows. Tourist heaven after the battle in the souk!
