The journey has begun! After a relatively smooth flight I landed in Dubai a few nights ago.
Our first stop after we had recuperated, was to the textile, gold and spice souks
Firstly, the textile souks. My eyes danced as we wandered through here. There was an amazing collection of colour, design and texture!
Then we hopped aboard an abra to take us across the river to the gold and spice souks.
What a beautiful way to travel - the vibrant colour of the water contrasted against the whites and creams of the buildings that perch along the waterfront.

The spice souks were my favourite part of this journey. The vibrancy of the colours and the warm smells of cinnamon, dried lemon, saffron were incredible. It made me want to dream up a thousand dishes and spend the afternoon cooking.
I forgot to photograph the gold souks! I was in awe of the incredible amounts of bling everywhere!
Sadly, photography cannot do this place justice as there is no way you could capture the beauty and the detail that could be found in everything.

What a feast for my eyes!
