A Taste of culture

One of the sources of income in the Dubai Emerates region was pearl diving. Most of the pearl divers lived along the coast and were also fishermen when not diving for pearls. The local used to live a simple life with most of their homes built out of tatched reeds and strips of wood barks. most are double rooms with a varandah set oustside for guests to sit and shoot the breeze. I am at the "Creek" visiting the cultural exposition center for the benifit of visitors to have a taste of what was Dubai like not too long ago.
