Best-Dubai-Fountain-jaimin-holidays

The Dubai fountain has “shooters” that spray water in the air in many different combinations and patterns which can make the water seem to dance. Some shooters can spray the water at more than 150 m. In addition to the “dancing water” at the Dubai Fountain Show, there is also light which makes an even bigger effect. The beam of the light from the fountain can be seen from over 30 km. And just because choreography and light is not enough, there is also music that accompany the performance.

Al Shindagha is the oldest part of Dubai (together with Al Bastakiya), established in the 1830s. This peninsula is situated on the Northwest shore of Dubai Creek, and borders Bur Dubai. This is where many South Asian workers live. This neighborhood has more in common with Cairo or Tunis, or even India, then with the modern part of Dubai and western cities.

Here you can find the Heritage Village, a historical area with refurbished old residential houses in Middle Eastern style -built in sandstone and clay, and arrangements, museums and installations that show life before oil -including camels and bedouins, when Dubai was a fishing village. You can also find the historical areas Fishing Village and Diving Village here. Al Shindagha is also where you find the home of the older relatives of the Al Maktoum ruling family, like Sheikh Zayed. Here you also have a nice view of Deira, Bur Dubai and the new skyline in the far distance. The busy Shindagha tunnel connects the old part with Deira under the creek.

While India and Pakistan are filled with plenty of akharas, where wrestlers are trained in the traditional style of mud wrestling, the expats in Dubai are not spoilt for choice. All they have is a tiny makeshift field that they clear of stones to make the wrestling pit with water and using their feet to meld it into the earth.

Fighters step up from among the crowd, waving their hands above their head, dancing and hopping on one foot. They are then matched depending on their skill level, after which the men change into brightly coloured loincloth tied in the traditional way.

The two opponents face off in a series of grappling matches, with the aim of pinning an opponent to their back. They first touch the ground of the mudpit in reverence and lather their opponent in mud across their backs and chest to get a better grip.
