Zabeel Park and Abras, Dubai

Set within prime Dubai real estate, Zabeel Park is an oasis in the surrounding organised urban jungle. In typical Dubai fashion, the gardens (yes, gardens in the desert) are immaculately landscaped and it was nice to enjoy some fresh air.

The late night Abra ride to the textile souk (one of the few bargains we came across in Dubai, priced AED1 (about 20p)) was well worth it, a chance to sit with the locals and enjoy the creek breeze and views.
