Yet another Sunday and here I am to update the happenings in my colorful life from Dubai.
We have guests staying over this month and that means you may get to see more of the places we take them to visit around Dubai. I love this time in Dubai when it is not too cold that we have to bring out the sweaters nor too hot that we can’t walk around the city in the noon.
Last week we visited Gold Souq which means Gold market and as I have told you already, we in Dubai are the definition of Over the Top. Yes we are and when I say Gold souq, imagine a spice market with wares displayed out in the open and sellers calling out to you but with gold.
Too hard to believe? I, for once, remembered to take pictures for you guys. Here I go:
I will try and bring more updates and pictures from my city in the upcoming weeks.
If you like what you see, you should consider following my new Instagram account (yes I finally jumped in) where I will post more of these and books as well. At least, I plan to do that.
On the blog
Here is a quick recap of the week that went by:
Did you share my frustrations on One About ‘Why Is It Christmas Already?’ in our Sunday Musings post?
On Monday I reviewed Mindy Kaling’s Why not me?
We discussed the Part 2 of the Plot holes: Watch out for these inconsistencies! on Wednesday.
I was lucky to have Camilla from Readers in the Attic to talk straight from the heart of an Italian in this week’s Flyaway Friday edition.
I also had Author Greg Hickey post his choice of the Cult Favorites Of Philosophical Fiction.
Around the blogosphere
While there were so many awesome posts that I read this week, these are some of my favorites. If I don’t follow your blog yet, let me know and I will make amends right away.
- While I don’t rate books on my blog, I am sure Marie’s detailed explanation on what influences her rating on her book reviews would be super helpful.
- I loved this post on books that smashes sexist tropes from Marta from The cursed books.
- Ten tips to help you become a better YOU from Better Humans that I read today.Â
- Are you a fast reader? Laura talks about her place in the book blogging community as a slow reader.
I will be linking today’s post with Caffeinated reviewer’s Sunday post Meme.

Let us talk
How was your weekend? Should I make longer posts about Dubai and its places? Let us talk.

Let me know when you come. We should catch up.
Great pictures!
Thanks!
This was all very enjoyable.
Thanks
Wow, that’s a lot of amazing jewelry (and other gold stuff)! Over the top, yes, but much of it is also beautiful. Is Dubai home for you, or are you living there temporarily? An acquaintance of mine, a teacher, spent 4 or 5 years teaching in the UAE; they moved back here about a year ago. She and her family enjoyed their time there.
Have a wonderful week!
I am an Indian and I stay temporarily here as well. UAE is treating me good.
Great photos.
Thanks!
The photos are amazing! And a wonderful round-up as well. So many great posts to read on 🙂
I am glad you enjoyed them.
Dubai always looks so glam. I have a friend who lives out there. I don’t think I could cope with the heat.
Yes the summers are really bad but then we make do!
Lovely post and fantastic pictures! I just might have to start planning a trip to Dubai 🙂

I was wondering if I was overloading with images. But I am glad you liked it.
The photos from the market are amazing! What a sight to see. Sometimes having guests from out of town is a perfect way to be a tourist in your own city.
