Dubai 8: Creek Crossing on Abras

19 November 2009

I love these. Once on foot in downtown older Dubai, an abra ride is the main mean of transportation across the creek. A boat ride with strangers: one coin, one crossing, just get in. No life jackets, no tickets, no assigned seats, no stress about anything, really. They even play hardball when it comes to docking, often bumping into each other’s boats while honking our ears out. Love it.
