Bastakiya

Bastakiya is a small heritage area, a walkable haven in traffic mad Dubai. A few cobbled streets with traditional houses with wind towers, sitting on the waters of the Creek and facing the Deira side of the city. We visited it on Friday, and it was surreally empty apart from a few tourists. To view the photo gallery, click the image below

Ikea

Going to Ikea, anywhere in the world, is a reassuringly familiar experience: the big blue shed, the yellow bags, the internal layout, the swedish meatballs... with here a more grandiose entrance and the yellow logo in arabic.
Apart from the dining table and chairs, we managed to smoothly buy all the furniture and really looking forward for next Friday`s delivery.
