@tourwithshahzad1: This Hidden Courtyard In Dubai Makes You Forget That Burj Khalifa Is Only 2 Minutes Walking Distance Away *Description:* Souk Al Bahar, Downtown Dubai. Traditional Arabic market with water canals, palm trees, and the iconic black horse statue. Emaar HQ tower in background. USA: We have outdoor malls with fountains. Dubai: They built a 1000-year-old souk with canals, then put Burj Khalifa 300m behind it. *Facts for US viewers:* *Souk Al Bahar:* “Market of the Sailor”. Built 2008 but designed like old Arabian souk *Location:* Right across from Dubai Mall + Burj Khalifa. 2min walk *Black Horse Statue:* By Fernando Botero. Symbol of strength + Arab culture *Emaar Tower:* HQ of the company that built Burj Khalifa + Dubai Mall *USA comparison:* We have “Ye Olde” themed malls. Dubai built real souk next to the future America: We mix old + new in museums. Dubai: They mix old + new on the same street. USA: Would you shop here or run straight to Burj Khalifa? #SoukAlBahar #DowntownDubai #BurjKhalifa #tourwithshahzad #DubaiSouk
