All credit for Faces recommendation - visitted the Madinat with 'her indoors' last night as a peace offering - she checked out the forum whilst i was in the shower and was a might displeased.

No probs m8.......atleast Mrs. TS liked the place.........the souk section is my fave bit.....i actually got lost and when i needed the loo, i cudnt find it!

LOL......No its a gr8 alternative to getting down to deira to experience the real thing.........though that is an experience itself.

Madinat rules! love the teak wood beams they have up there and the winding alleys are an excellent touch aswell.

these pics will add some perspective:



Enjoy!

we also got lost - several times - only found the map on the way out when we knew where we were,

She loved the shops and we did't escape without her purchasing a few items

The Meat Co in the Madinat souk is definitely worth a visit. It's a South African restaurant. If you are a meat eater you will love it. If you don't eat steak they have a few fish/game dishes.
Also, if you need to make up ground for something, I reckon an ideal spot is the Thai Bistro at the Dubai Marine...
Just my two penneth...
