Things to Do in Deira,Dubai..

The 2 Famous Shawarma Joints,baniyas square-deira

These 2 places are situated in the heart of deira,near baniyas square[also Nasser square]...The most amazing shawarma i have had over the years,and continue to have..[it was priced@aed 2.50/pc when i came to dxb,now it is aed 4.00/pc.]

Beware,u mAy have to wait for up to 30 mins in Que,on Thursday and Friday evenings..But it's definitely worth the wait..the 2 joints fiercely compete with each other..but i still can't say which is better...!!,so try both!..

Does this clock ring a bell?

Doha...u wanted me to stay back?

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY

Thanks to Doha's visa rules(there are 41 very specific professions,that are entitled to Visa on arrival @Doha Airport)..i was turned down from the check-in counter at the Dubai airport this morning..

Now i can continue bitching..but i know i lack planning(i don't remember booking a hotel in advance,changing currency before departing or checking the weather)..i should have known the rules upfront..

Other people who were not allowed to board :- 3 people had their UAE residence visa expiring in less than 6 months,1 guy forgot his credit card,and din even remember the Cc number(ok...this is sad,specially when u paid for the ticket,why are they so strict about it..)

What better to Celebrate UAE's National Day..The Locals are so dressed up today-->,caps,bandanas,mufflers,ribbons,abayas,head-scarves,..every1 is sporting the Uae flag..The cars have flags,some even had graffiti on 'em..Buildings are adorning glittering lights..Red,Green,white..U can feel it in the Air..

The Moon is a Beautiful Crescent tonight..

I am hoping that this country navigates itself well throught the Global Crises,people stay safe & jobs are secure..I have been here for more than 3 years now..and i don't want to leave this early ;-)..
