Aqsa Al Madeena Hypermarket View from Coral Dubai Deira Hotel

View from Room 409, Coral Dubai Deira Hotel

August 25. Deira, Dubai. United Arab Emirates. Afternoon photos.

Taken with my iPhone 11. Files stored on my hard drive (Seagate One Touch Hub Media - 8 TB).

I really like my hotel Coral. It's so close to the airport, is on a major street with groceries just across the street. Down Al Muraqqabat is a Philippine grocery story and a mall, Al Ghurair Centre.

"Aqsa Al Madeena" most commonly refers to Aqsa Al-Madeena Hypermarket, a retail chain in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia offering groceries, personal care items, and other household essentials, with deals often available through platforms like Tabby.

Founder, Social Media Manager & Content Creator at Pinoybuilt.com. Photographer at JFPerseveranda.com. Former IT Product Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric. I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis,Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay. Salamat.
