Everything Pakistani can be found here! EVERYTHING!! Went for mangos and came back with four bags of nostalgia. All the things that remind you of Pakistan are here with all the useful masalas, drinks, there’s a butcher as well in the back, so that’s convenient, there’s a good selection of fruits and vegetables as well. You will probably find what you’re looking for here, can always call and check before coming if you have a specific item in mind.

This is a nice small market “souq” to visit while in Dubai, I gave it one less star as I thought it would be bigger than it was. It’s nice to get souvenirs on the cheap and also lots of ethnic south Asian and middle eastern mix of jewellery, decorations, clothes, spices, etc. There are lots of nice restaurants around for eating as well. Once you’re done wandering around the market you can grand a boat and take a ride in the creek, there are lots of boats available at the shore and at very reasonable prices. Rule of thumb here is too make sure to bargain! Don’t accept the first price, good luck and enjoy!

START FROM THE BACK ENTRANCE!! Ask your hotel and they will arrange the ride to the back gate. Obviously you can read many of the reviews. Petra is beautiful. It’s a once in a lifetime place to see beautiful and gorgeous heritage sight. Moving on from that you need to know it’s about a 6 to 8 hour walk or hike, uphill, and downhill. When you start from the back entrance, you see the first and essentially hike downhill to the Petra main entrance which is the Petra visitor center. By starting at the back, you save yourself the walk back from the monastery to the entrance. You can thank me later. Another positive of starting from the back entrance is that essentially you are going downhill after about a 2 to 3 km uphill that you need to do for the monastery. Have fun and good luck 🤞🏽

nice place to explore for a few hours! The drive to Jerash from Amman is breathtaking, the drive along was worth it for me! I enjoyed exploring this place on my own, there are also lots of guides wandering around and also at the entrance to help you. I love how you can be alone here as not many tourists or travellers are visiting and you have so much peace exploring ruins from thousands of years ago, my fav part was the peace and serenity!
