Aju Ashokan

An amazing place for window shopping, but an expensive place for real-life shopping. It's unfortunate that a bottle of alcohol or wine priced at 36,000 AED can only be enjoyed in our dreams. It's puzzling what makes it so expensive, and it's unclear who would even purchase such an extravagant item.

On the other hand, items like chocolate, drinking water, juice, and coffee should be affordable for everyone. Though their packaging and location may vary, the ingredients remain the same. So why are duty-free items priced so exorbitantly?

Airports are meant to cater to people's needs and facilitate their travel from one place to another. Duty-free should imply the ability to purchase items without paying excessive taxes or fees. However, it often feels like we're being charged 5 to 10 times the actual price for goods from outside.

Let's consider the impact on ordinary people before setting price tags. Accessibility and fairness should be valued over profit margins.

Tired Puri Bhaji, Vada, Some blue colour mojito, sorry forget the name of that, along with mint lemon Soda.

Puri bhaji 3/5 it was good and fresh. Taste waise also it was good, but could have been better. Price 8 aed. 3 puris you get .

Blue colour Mojito 5/5 it was so refreshing however glass was bit small i felt. PRICE : 16 AED

A family Park, a small pond inside the park, good for kids to play with their friends. It have playground, Restrooms, and lots of greenery. Good for morning and evening walk for the residents staying close to it.

Back in India this restaurant is one of the famous for its Masala Dosa and filter coffee. So when saw this restaurant in Al Nahda Dubai, thought of having morning breakfast.

Ordered Masala Dosa, Onion Uthapam, Vada Plate, and Filter Coffee.

Masala Dosa : Ratings 2/5 Even though dosa was crispy but the masala for me was not that much tasty it was wet aloo masala. Sambar was sweet, not much spicy which i don't like. Chatni white was good.

Onion Uthapam : 2.5/5 The Taste was average.

Wada Set: 3/5 It was crispy and good.

Filter coffee: 2/5 didn't enjoyed much this filter coffee.

Over all average taste but high price, same if you go to normal restaurant price will be half and taste will be better.

So over all rating which i wouldike to give is 2/5

So we booked 4 adult tickets cost 100 Each and 2 kids 50 each.

Sailing Time 9 to 11.

So it started by 9.15 PM and till 11PM they sailed with in 1KM Area between al seef and Al fahidi. Which was quite boring, same place whole 2 hours, they go in front till close to Bank of Baroda Building and then come back till RTA ticket counter at Al Fahidi.

Welcome drink is been served with soft drinks, which is unlimited.

Coming to food, honestly food was below average. It was unlimited but food selection was poor.

At last i would not recommend this dhow cruise , atleast after checking online same cruise costing between 45 to 55 AED and onsite i had to pay 100 each that to on a National Day.

Over all ratings 1/5. As expected no much views and cruse was sailing almost same place within 1KM to 2 KM.
