A surprise perk about visiting Dubai is reconnecting with old friends such as Kiran. Kiran's the girl holding the camera in the photograph. We knew each other as teenagers when my parents were posted in Indonesia. After all these years we met up again (she's visiting family in Dubai too) and spent a wonderful day catching up on life and love. Kiran's now a professional photographer who lives with her husband in Montreal! Check out her website at: www.kiranambwani.com. She and I photographed the nooks and crannies of what's known as "Old Dubai"... she on her professional, big camera and me on my tiny, Sony digital. In the photo above, Kiran is taking a picture of a vendor in Dubai's "Spice Market." Below are some more shots of the market...
Right next to the Spice Market is the Gold Souk, which consists of an endless row of crammed stores brimming over with gold and silver jewelry. People from all over hustle and bustle while bored-looking store owners sit behind glass windows and watch the world go by.
