Rashidya Water Tank - Old Landmarks of Dubai

The Rashidya Water Tank. Once an important landmark and the only structure which rose out of the sandy waste of Rashidya. It could easily be spotted from Garhoud Bridge and always a silent landmark of the wasteland after that.

The water tower today is no more the edge of the city rather stands lost in the midst of the changing roads, new flyovers and bigger landmarks. Freemind will be on the look out for more old landmarks which were once the most common reference points of taxis of yore.

“Writers are the main landmarks of the past.”
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton (British politician, poet and prolific novelist)
