DUBAI, April 2015
12 sunny days in Dubai, United Arab Emirates:
pilot Milan takes us there smoothly
Umm Suqeim Beach with Burj al Arab:
7-Star Hotel Burj al Arab:
a sandstorm stopped us for half a day:
crazy Milan in the swimming pool on the roof of our hotel:
... and the fun goes on in our hotel room
arrested for too much goofing around:
nice cars everywhere in Dubai:
... sometimes with happy drivers (well, nearly drivers)
let's change to a bit smaller vehicles
Dubai Metro:
the highest building in the world: Burj Khalifa
at first, we thought this is the world famous Burj Khalifa water fountain:
... but then we went to the other side of the building...
now let's go up to the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa:
Gold Souq...
... and Spice Souq
this was traditional shopping, now we enter the biggest shopping malls in the world: first, Mall of the Emirates, with an indoor ski hill...
... and a giant aquarium in Dubai Mall...
... and GOLD machines instead of ATM cash machines...
... and an Airbus 380 simulator, and of course, an original dinosaur skeleton...
... and dancing Johnny Rockets employees...
... and yes, this is also a shopping mall:
crossing the river with a wooden Abra
travelling onto Palm Jumeirah with the Monorail:
Marina Beach, much too crowded for our taste:
Dubai Marina:
visiting two mosques:
strange signs for western people:
let's get ready to rumble: Desert Safari
after these pictures, the ride went on, not only in 4x4 vehicles...
bye-bye, sunny Dubai, keep on constructing...
