2nd Day (Saturday, 6 November 2010)
After breakfast (Kendos masak mee goreng..seriously mmg sedap), kitorg bertolak ke Dubai Creek, pekan lama Dubai. Selepas parking kereta, kitorg menaiki Abra (traditional water taxi, AED1/person) cross to Bur Dubai and visit Shindagah, site of the original settlement, which is being renovated and rebuilt. You'll find museums, Heritage Village, Sheikh Saeed's House and several great open-air restaurants. Sempat jugak singgah old and new Al Souq (Market) membeli souvenir. Then patah blk semula menaiki Abra ke parking kitorg utk have lunch @ Al Tawasol Restaurant utk mkn nasi arab..tempat ni famous sbb harga dia berpatutan & of course sbb sedap..yummmy..melantak jugak kitorg mkn kambing & ayam dlm talam yg besar tu..hehe..boleh plak terjumpa kawan Kendos/Syima masa kitorg nk blk setelah lama xjumpa..
