Crossing the Creek

On a stroll in the historic area of Bastakiya in Dubai, a couple of weeks ago in 40 degrees heat, I passed by an Abra Station. Abras are the small boats used for transportation across the Dubai Creek that splits Dubai into the Bur Dubai and Deira side. The ride is only 1 dirhams!
