My Dubai is Not Like Yours

Dubai as I saw it. Less glitter, more basic, middle-eastern vibes.

The photos were taken during my first intercontinental solo trip in June 2013. I wouldn’t be surprised if the landscape has changed dramatically since then 🙂

      1. Nice, Gabi! Oh you really need a partner or someone /or you can hire me for free?/ when going here to enjoy it more and go to some great places you’ve never been ?..
        Dubai is crazy and im lovin it.

        1. I have heard about the Aladdin city or the city that will have a controlled climate, but they won’t be ready so soon, even if we are talking about dxb. But please take many photos and 5 years you will have the before and now, and might want to share it with us ?

  1. Great pics of Dubai! You’ve captured it brilliantly. People don’t get to see that side of Dubai as it is always the new emerging stuff always that gets promoted. But this takes me back – went about 10 years ago or so and I remember those streets and Dubai Creek – those wooden boats were brilliant crossing to the other side where there was a cobbled paved street market (as far as I remember). Great to see what’s new there through your pictures – Love the site!

  2. You’re very observant! Dubai is, well, no words can adequately describe it. I think one’s perspective depends on whether one is a visitor/tourist, resident, laborer, etc … When it comes to shopping, though, everything’s there!

    1. You are ao right, this is undeniable and probably the only point that will make everyone agree. The good thing about Dubai is that you don’t need to go after your favorite brands around the world – everything is already there, under the same roof!
