Bridging the old and the new
This is a walking bridge that connects the Dubai Mall (new-new) to the Souk Al Bahar (old-new, newly built but made in the old style) shopping area. It’s actually just another small mall, but a lot of the shops here sell traditional Arabic things….carpets, stuffed camels, shisha pipes, and so on.
Besides these traditional stores, there are some great restaurants here such as Dean & Deluca (there is another Dean & Deluca in the Dubai Mall as well, along with a D&D supermarket as well) , a great Italian place called Urbano and so on.
Both malls overlook the Burj Dubai and the area between them will be flooded once the Dubai creek is extended all the way here, making all of Bur Dubai an island. Yes, I know it’s really quite mind boggling!
Also, the largest musical fountain (like they have in LV) will be in-between the malls as well. Currently, construction on the Burj Dubai and the fountains is still ongoing, so there’s not much of a view.
