Here are a few photos of one part of New Karama (opp. Post Office) from my archvies. Will be putting up more in due course. Karama is
A view of the Karama Post Office (far left) from next to the Baby Shop building.
Day To Day 2 Dirham Store - Everything in this store is Dhs.2/-...well almost.
Salt n Pepper Restaurant - Mainly Filipino and Chinese food...quite a popular hangout for Filipinos.
The buildings in Karama are not more than 4 storeys each...and are all residential with ground floor being alloted to shops and offices. These photos were taken on a Friday (official day off), so that explains why the streets are so empty.
Aachees Restaurant - A Kerala restaurant that started with a bang and suddenly closed down one day. Now it still exists - locked for about a year now.
Dubai Fried Chicken - In an earlier avatar, it was called Damascus Fried Chicken and I remember seeing a lot of crowd here...then it changed to Dubai Fried Chicken and suddenly it closed down too....then after 6 months, it has now reopened as Golden Brown.
More views of New Karama.
Chopsticks Restaurant - Excellent Chinese cuisine...small and cosy too!
A Used Furniture shop in the Hamdan Colony area of New Karama. Once there were quite a number of used furntiure shops in this area...seems to have thinned out now.
Residents of Karama are mostly South Asians - Indians, Pakistanis, Arabs too and some Iranians.
