I was supposed to return the rental car on the Saturday (7th March).... but when I went to the agency, there’s a sign on the window saying that they’re closed..... (Eid Miladun Nabi it said on the note). So, I told the family that because we’re not going to return the car that day, why not take the opportunity to log in another Dubai adventure.
Since it’s near Maghrib time, we stopped at the masjid by Rolla St. After Maghrib, we decided that we haven’t seen the creek in real life. So, I brought them to the Al Seef Marina, just opposite Um Hurrair area. The marina houses many floating restaurants, private boats and a waterbus (abra) station.
We can see downtown Deira from the marina and the abra system connects Bur Dubai and Deira with fee of just Dhs4.00/person. The private boats range from a sophisticated-styled ones to simple-looking dhows. Apit and Ain said “Nanti ayah beli bot macam tu ye?”......hehehe....I wish!!.... But it a nice thought anyway...... if I were taking in Dhs1Mil/year and were a good friend of the Al-Maktoum's, I might consider that.....
The floating restaurants looked quite luxurious....but I did promise my family that one day we will have dinner on one of those restaurants.....
After some photo sessions, we drove to the next destination.....Creek Park.
It was almost 8pm, but people were still coming and going.....unlike in Malaysia, where the parks are “off-limit” after dark, the parks in Dubai are as lively in the evening as during the day. We can still see people taking their families....picnicking...or just strolling around the park. The park is super clean....we really enjoyed our time there.
Next time, we will bring nasi lemak or mihun goring or spaghetti to the park...and have a nice family picnic.... We might invite some friends too.
