Random pictures of the week.....Around Dubai with family..

:: Jumeirah Beach/Burj Al Arab(world's one and only 7 star hotel)

::It was a windy day and the wave was really high..

:: Madinat Jumeirah/Souq -Market area

The souk is a colorful and vibrant market or part of a market in an Arabian city. Lively trading culture, animated, interactive - this defines Souk Madinat Jumeirah.    Meandering paths lead visitors through a bazaar-like atmosphere in which open fronted shops and intimate galleries spill onto the paved walkways. The sounds of craftsmen and women at work mingle with the aroma from street cafes and boutique restaurants.
