Dubai For 48 Hours: Dubai Marina Jumeirah

Posted on January 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

A ten minute walk from the hotel, the marina offers the spectacle of a calm urban jungle composed of towers and buildings quite similar (pictures 2, 3 & 1), in absolute contrast with the surroundings of the Deira Gold Souq. The streets are deserted except for a few tourists and workers. I feel like moving in a setting of manga in less saturated. I walked to the ultra modern subway towards Rashidiya to discover the famous Mall of the Emirates, “the largest mall in the world.” I’m enough intrigued by superlatives. Pictures 4, 5 and 6: Lakes Towers Station.

Dubaï en 48h: Dubai Marina Jumeirah

A dix minutes de marche de l’hôtel, la marina offre un spectacle de jungle urbaine calme et ventilée, composée de tours et buildings assez semblables (photos 2, 3 & 1), en absolu contraste avec les environs du Souk de l’or à Deira. Les rues sont désertes à l’exception de quelques touristes et travailleurs. Comme l’impression de me déplacer dans un décor de manga, en moins saturé. Je me dirige jusqu’au métro ultra moderne, en direction de Rashidiya, pour découvrir le fameux Mall of Emirates, “le plus grand centre commercial du monde“. Les superlatifs m’intriguent assez. Photos 4, 5 et 6: Lakes Towers Station.

Dubai For 48h: Dubai Creek, On My Way to Dubai Heritage Village

Posted on January 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

From the Deira Gold Souq, I’ve walked along the Deira Creeks (pictures 1 & 2), then jumped in a taxi boat (pictures 3, 5 & 6) to the vicinity of Dubai Heritage Village (picture 4), where I stopped and chilled at the terrace of a cafe full of people with a view of one of the banks. The fresh orange juice is delicious. The walk from the Deira Gold Souk is long, forget your flip-flops for an old pair of sneakers (especially if like me, you get to lose the way!). But the Deira district offers a relaxing part of Dubai, so far away from the ultra-modern buildings of Downtown. To recommend to anyone looking for a break of the madness of malls, shopping and resorts.
