Jet ski in Dubai

The weather is still nice, the sea still very warm, so maybe you'll feel like jet ski? If the anwser is yes, then head to Sharjah (Al Mamzar part of Sharjah. Go in Expo direction, then make U-turn on round about and then after a few meters turn right for the sea). The rate is about 120Dhs per 1 hour, and I think that's enough of riding/ driving/ splashing :-)

Kilim rug

Last Friday we went to Sharjah, to Blue Souq to get some puffs, but we ended up with buying our first kilim rug (pictured). It originates from Iranian place called Somak. I don't know if you like to haggle or not, but I can assure you that's a lot of fun. Don't rush, take your time, accept tea and browse a lot of carpets first - it's a part of the "haggling game". The sellers at Sheba Store weren't pushy which I liked, and we all had a good laugh every time when I was lowering down the price until we reached an agreement. So, at the end: if you feel that the price is right for you, buy it!

Dubai guide (6)

Shopping is one of the attractions of Dubai! Big (and small) brands you'll find in any shopping mall in Dubai, but if you fancy pashmina shawl, carpet or at least cushion cover then head to Sharjah's beautiful Blue Souq. You'll find there great selection of gifts and better prices too (this will also depend on your bargain skills).
