It’s been a while since I don’t walk my camera around.

Yesterday I decided to explore Satwa by myself, one of those neighborhoods in Dubai you can’t find in the tourist guides.
I was looking for guetto tags in narrow backstreets, but apart of that I discovered some amazing art in doors made with steel and paint (I will dedicate an exclusive post for that later), amazing cheap places for having good natural juices, interesting spots for place some art and also a gay dude who loves to pose for my camera. Viva Satwa!

Al Bastakiya is one of the oldest residential areas in the city of Dubai.The locality lies along Dubai Creek and its unique architecture includes narrow lanes and wind towers, as well as the Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest existing building in Dubai.


I painted this guy in one of its amazing corners, chilling like they used to do 100 years back, when Bastakiya was the residence for expatriate families.
