Daily morning I will walk to the place Abraa which is around 10 minute’s walk able distance from my accommodation (Naif). Currently I am staying to the very next flat to my Sister Sumayya. The bachelors from her clinic are staying with me. (Please note that here bachelors doesn’t mean unmarried men- may be I can call ‘pravasikal’). Here bachelor accommodation means bed space. Like train cabin I am staying in down birth of a double ducker bed. J . There are 5 people staying in my room which is a bigger room compared to normal rooms. First 
few days it was difficult for me to breath inside the room. But when I came to know if people from some other country (I don’t want to name the country name), they will stay minimum 3 families inside such a big room with separate curtains for each families.Sorry I was talking about Abraa. It is a small river side (corniche?) separating two main areas of the Dubai town. Dubai and Bur Dubai. There are almost 24 hour boat service in between Dubai and Bur Dubai (A traditional old model boat, the boat also called Abraa).
Passenger Boat(Ordinary and A/C).
Few weeks before Dubai Water Authority announced new AC passenger boat in Abra. Normal boat cost 1 Dirham only for a single journey. But the new AC boat cost 4 Dirham!. So I can see most of the time 2 people are traveling in this boat. (Driver and Helper)
Abraa Owner
The interesting part of my understanding is the investigation about owner of Abraa. Initially I thought Dubai Govt is the owner. But I found an Old man who is living in Abraa cornice side he care Abraa just like his own property. He won’t allow people to park their cars near his surrounding area. I usually watch his actions when I wait for my morning pickup to my office. When he wakes up if he saw any car parked some where near his bed he will shout very loudly.
