Dubai Water Bus

The Dubai Water Bus, they call it. It's air-conditioned and the fare is AED 4.00.

On the reflection on its window, you can see the abras. That is also a boat that crosses the Dubai Creek. The fare is only AED 1.00. No aircon. But, the river does not smell yet, so it's okay to take the abras. Even the tourists prefer to take the abras against this.

Creek Open Air Restos

The best time to enjoy this place is around January to March... well, April.  It's the time of the year when it's very relaxing to sit by the creek and enjoy good food.

Minaret

This is along the Dubai Creek. I am not sure if this is a Hindu temple or a Muslim mosque. But from what I know that small tower, called a minaret, normally goes with a Muslim mosque. I heard that this area is the textile section of Bur Dubai where the Indians have many textile stores.

The trip across the creek will take you from Bur Dubai to Deira on the other side. The fare is only AED 1.00 and it's faster than taking a bus. Bus fare is AED 1.50 and will take about 30 to 45 minutes on the other side because of the traffic.
