Grandma seeks out the Dubai Museum & Gold Souk


In a desperate bid to give us a bit of culture in this crazy town, Grandma forces us to visit the Dubai Museum down in Deira






This is what Dubai maritime transport looked like before the QE2 got here for a makeover





Inside, that's quite different from Waitrose





About the closet I fancy getting to a camel





Before Shariah bonds were invented, local people would do things like life-threatening pearl diving




A 1 dirham fare to cross the creek on an abra



It's getting humid but Grandma wants a few pics of the Gold Souk






I just saw the world's biggest gold ring, about the size of a tyre!








Ocean's Eleven we ain't, more's the pity...
