And of course the extraordinary Ski Dubai, the indoor ski centre which is a must to visit on your bargain holidays to Dubai.
Dubai Creek is a natural seawater inlet that divides the city of Dubai into two parts - Deira Dubai and Bur Dubai. Visitors to the city can take an abra (water taxi) along the creek to see the old trading port and the dhows (traditional arab sailing boat) from the water. The abra's criss-cross the Creek from the souks of Deira to those on the Bur Dubai side. Located at the inland end of the Creek is a large, shallow lagoon which is now a wildlife sanctuary and a haven for migrating shore birds and the Greater Flamingo who have made the Creek their permanent home. A leisurely walk along the wharf will give you an insight into Dubai's trading heritage and traditions, it is here that the dhows dock to unload their goods. These Dhows still operate along the ancient trade routes to places such as India and East Africa.
