RE: Aladdin's lamp and so much more: For Marketfriday by @dswigle

Its been more than two decades, since i last visited Dubai. Amazing jewelry and handicrafts. The countries you have asked for, the one they traded with, i guess Egypt, Iraq or Iran (as they are famous for its carpets and rugs). Love all these souks. Very nostalgic for me. I had been living in Abu Dhabi, for almost eighteen years. But Dubai has its own charm.

Sort:  

Wow 20 years is a very long time and Dubai has completely transformed in that amount of time. They are great traders as you know. It's still the centre of trade. I hear Abu Dhabi is very nice and just an hours drive away.

Yes, just an hour drive away. Its not a cosmopolitan city , as Dubai is. In fact, you can see a lot of local people in Abu Dhabi unlike Dubai. But i have so many beautiful memories of my childhood like my school. Thanks for the share.
