We had a lovely lazy Saturday this weekend (Saturday is the last day of the weekend in the Middle East).

Lunchtime is busy at Souq Waqif.   A great place to experience Arabic cuisine and to take in some of the colours, scents and textures of Arab culture.

No surprise I was attracted to this!   Must pay a visit when they are open…

This is also the time that many of the shops close for the afternoon.   Wandering round the allies is eerily dark and quiet and filled with the lingering scent from the spices.

Leaving the Souq there is great view down across the Corniche to the towers of Westbay.
