The third outing of Dubai was Medinat Jumeirah. This is a mall that is made to resemble an old Arabic market. The wooden ceiling consists of mughal architectural arches. The traditional style of shops almost takes any person to that era. The dim but sufficient lighting added to the aura of being in the historic Arabia. This is mall cum hotel. In here the sea water is brought into the midst of the hotel area. There are facilities like the shikara boat to traverse through the waters. The blue water in the historic brown architecture makes an amazing feeling. There were lamps of various shapes, colors and formats. The palm trees could be seen everywhere. The ambience in the area was very fascinating. The narrow lanes of the market gave a feeling of the bygone period. The wind towers and the tall minarets resembled scenes from Arabian nights. There were traditional Hookahs to be seen. Restaurants from all over the world offered there own cuisines and specialties. There was something or the other of that specific region that symbolized the specialty of that part of the world. There were many antiques like the steering wheels of the old ships, bronze camels, ancient kayaks, miniature cannons and many more things.
After the visit to the Medinat Jumeirah I experienced the practical lifestyle and the geographic conditions of the ancient Arabic conditions.
