Top 5 subjects to Photograph in Dubai

Kushti Wrestling in Deira

This is a truly unique photo opportunity, this ‘organised’ (yet totally unofficial) sporting event takes place each Friday in the afternoon right before evening prayer time….quite a spectacle as soon as you grab a vantage view point.

The Fish, Fruit and Vegetable Markets in Deira

This bustle of a market is situated right in the old part of Dubai and is an addiction for foodies, with the effervescent scenes of the traditional souks breathing life to the city.

Dubai Water Canal

A man-made waterway that winds its way to the Arabian Gulf from the Creek in Old Dubai and through the heart of the desert city…a marvel. Stunning sunsets take your breath away, while overlooking the skyscrapers and the constant stream of the waterfall all make a photographer click away awestruck.

The Dhow Building Yard

Near the Bur Dubai Abra docks (near Al-Gharhoud Bridge) along the Dubai Creek, the Dhow Building Yard is an all-embracing marina which takes you back in time as you capture boat builders at work.

Satwa

A world away from the city’s ostentatious shops and alluring venues, Satwa is one of the veiled gems of Dubai. Take a saunter through its lively streets, grab a bargain, and haggle over striking fabrics while snapping away.
