Naif Souk

Yesterday we basically lazed about and watched Keeping up with the Kardashians and Giuliana and Bill nearly all day (hahaha, there was nothing else better in English to watch), to recharge from yesterdays, hot gold souk adventure.. Didn't have plans to go anywhere, but in the evening ka Maya's friend Layla drove over from Abu Dhabi to do a bit of wedding shopping in Dubai for her brother in law, so naturally, I followed.. We had dinner somewhere, can't remember where we went but it was a shopping centre with an indoor sky diving facility, which I nearly went on, but didn't cos I'd rather save the money for the real thing haha..

Today we went to another market called Naif Souk and also little shops in the surrounding area for Layla's brother-in-law's wedding purchases. It was crazy packed! Reminded me of Indonesia a bit haha! but like the Gold Souk, it was real fun to see the other side of Dubai thats not as expensive and fancy (although you can get pretty fancy stuff from the souks too!) Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures there due to time limits, uncomfortable temperatures and simply because there were just so many people about, so photos below belong to their respective owners..

I'm guessing this is what the souq looks like when its not packed:
