    Lulu mall and it's hypermarket is on par with any mid size mall of Dubai or Singapore.
    The layout of the mall is typical of their UAE style. Take time off to shop at the mall.

    Excellent!!! We arrived when the three artists had started to apply their makeup - all colors derived from plants. As the clock neared to its top, one could sense a frenzy in their application as if in anticipation of the complicated work they still needed to accomplish ahead. For in Kathakali (one of the most complicated of all Indian dance forms), the artists do not speak but use rather detailed postures or mudras to communicate their intentions, obviously to the accompaniment of music and song. These aspects were briefly, albeit brilliantly, described by a master of ceremonies who proved to be highly versatile. This done, the main event proceeded. I had read the playbill when I had entered and based on that did not think highly of the story which had a bit of goriness for my taste, but the ability of the three artists with the drummers and the master of ceremonies singing in the background skillfully drew me into their artistic world and led to a most satisfying climax.

    We stayed back for the next event which was Kalaripayyatu (Kerala martial arts) which was energetically performed by well bodied young men. The Kathakali Center is definitely worth a visit.

    Nice place where you can spend one evening with family. If you hav drawback e time you can enjoy a water metro ride in addition to the boat journey. View of sun set and a walk in sea shore by enjoying the cool Breeze from the sea will be a good experience to you . In week end the insufficient parking place is a drawback.

    One of the 'No to be Missed' spots in the city tour, this monument besides its steep historical value is also an interesting museum of period collections.
    The architecture is typical of the region and the rich wooden usage is exquisite, indeed.

    A nice Synagogue, well maintained and guarded by the military personnel with the real gun, which is important during the current situation. The people behave respectfully and you can enjoy the visit. A little museum provides enough information in English so visitors can learn about the Jewish diaspora in Kochi.

    Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, located in Fort Kochi, Cochin, Kerala, is a popular tourist destination and a significant religious site in the region. This basilica, built by the Portuguese in the 15th-16th century, is considered one of the most impressive and well-maintained churches in India. Its heritage architecture is a key draw, reflecting a mix of Indo-European designs. The church is close to the renowned St. Francis Church, making it a convenient stop for tourists exploring Cochin. The interior is adorned with beautiful stained glass windows that depict scenes from the scriptures, while the high vaulted ceilings and detailed pulpit and altar showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The basilica's structure has an interesting story. It reflects the colonial influence of Portugal and the Netherlands, with contributions from the British and King Raja of Kochi, who supported the building and renovation efforts. The surrounding areas are spacious and calm, providing a serene environment for visitors.

    The church has visitor timing restrictions and is closed in the afternoon from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., but is open until around 5 p.m. The main church is closed during prayer times, especially on Sundays. There's ample parking, and entry is free.

    If you're planning a visit, the nearest airport is Cochin International Airport, located about 45 km away. Ernakulam railway station is about 12 km from the basilica. Overall, Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica is a must-visit spot in Kochi, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and religious heritage.

    Bhoothathankettu is a dam in Ernakulam district , about 10 km away from the town of Kothamangalam and 50 km away from the main city of Kochi. There is a paved walk way parallel to the river. There is not much rush when I visited this place mainly due to Covid situation. Ample parking space is there. There is also a restaurant near the entrance. Speed boat facility is available.You can find many scenic spots along the way. A children's park is also there. There is a also a watch tower from where we can see a scenic view of the entire locality.
    The dam is located nearby to the legendary Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary at Thattekkad.

    This Church was built by the Portuguese in 1503. We heard an interesting fact that Vasco da gama's body was kept here after his death in 1524. But after fourteen years , it was removed.

    What struck us most was the tranquil atmosphere, despite being a popular tourist spot. We took a leisurely walk along the shore, felt the gentle breeze, and soaked in the history of the place.

    If you're looking for a relaxing beach experience with a dash of history and culture, Fort Kochi Beach is a must-visit. Don't miss the sunset and the local food!"
