The gang and I took a water bus up the Dubai Creek from the Al Seef station to the Bur Dubai station. It's a pretty ride at night and you get to see all the buildings lit up on both the Bur Dubai and Deira side.
After the boat ride, we walked along the waterfront of Shindagha, which is located at the mouth of the Dubai Creek. The Heritage and Diving Village is located here which showcases Bedouin village life and has displays about boat building and pearl diving. The waterfront is full of locals and visitors relaxing outside and smoking sheesha at Kan Zaman, a restaurant with outside seating and a view of the creek.
Since it's the "winter" time right now the evenings are really pleasant and everyone takes advantage of being outside in the great weather!
*** Summer in Dubai is June to September. It is apparently unbearable with extreme heat and over 80% humidity....and that's why everyone escapes indoors to the malls. It is even gross outside in the evenings during this period. The best time to visit Dubai and its high season for tourism is between December and March. ***
