Diera Old Souq Abra Taxi Moorings (evening)

Dubai
United Arab Emirates

A romantic form of travel and a great filming location this is one of Dubai’s oldest forms of transportation. It is still surprisingly cheap and a great way to traverse over and along the creek.

An Abra is a traditional wooden boat now motorised, that has been used since pearl dealers travelled across the creek on business rowed by oarsman. They are the gondolas of the creek. The Abras are still very busy for workers, businessman and tourists.
