Dubai, 9.00am of a Saturday. To market, to market, to market: the morning agenda involves textiles, spices and jewellery. If the construction of the souks themselves looks just a little too rigid, too clean, too straight to be authentic (or at least old), the kiosks at least have hints of individuality.
Finally, though: throngs! I never thought I’d miss people at their most swarming, and these markets are definitely abuzz. Such a welcome change from the comparably deserted super-malls.
