Dubai: Dhow cruise on Dubai Creek 25.05.2010

It was interesting that Dubai Creek is about 40 times wider that the Jordan River, and also very clean.  It’s only 14 kilometres long, but a lot of use is made of those 14 kilometres.  I saw a very large fish jumping in it – something I’ve never seen in the Brisbane River.  Apparently an earlier Sheik had the creek widened and deepened – a very wise move, as a great deal of shipping, including importing and exporting goods, occurs here.  It also adds greatly to the beauty of the city.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable hour’s cruise here.

 

The reflections in the water from these twin towers are reflecting the late afternoon sun reflecting off the towers.  You can also see a reflection of each tower on the other one.

 

Here are some water taxis carrying workers home across the creek, with a mosque behind them.  The square towers on the older buildings are an earlier form of air conditioning.  Breeze from any of the four directions the towers faced would be caught and forced down into the building, cooling it quite effectively.  Energy efficient as well!

The grass is always greener, or in this case, whiter.
