Until five years ago you could count the skyscrapers of Dubai have on one hand. Today the town is in a building boom, which has no equal. But still be found along the "Creek" that flow through the old town, a touch of 1001. In narrow, winding streets are the gold district, the Spice Quarter, the cloth district, etc.
All this quarter, actually "Souks" called, give the otherwise rather postmodern appearing Dubai back a certain charm of bygone days. To the "Creek" to cross, offer the easiest, the countless "Abras" at. These small boats chugging inhabit the river in large numbers and form a nice contrast to the mirrored facades of skyline skyscrapers.
Of the many mosques in the old town can hear the chants and prayers of the muezzin. Many residents wear white clothes or religious sheik robes. This part of Dubai is certainly the most interesting and impressive the city.
