Dubai

We went to Dubai for a couple of days, B for work and me for holyday (!). The first night I wanted to take some photos of the heavy traffic. Then I forgot to turn off the camera and the next day when I wanted to take lots of (interesting) photos, my camera was dead!

I spent two whole days on the beach and at night I went to one of the great shopping malls for food and some shopping.
Everywhere lots of ladies covered in black buying Dior, Burberry, Prada …. Even I sneaked in to the fancy stores and saw the prices of handbags ….about 2000-5000 US dollar each!

Remember my Arabic languge books...? Forgot them in the hotel room in Dubai! What will my teacher say!!!

Christmas Tree

The Dubai way of Christmas decorations. I felt a genuine feeling that Christmas is coming soon!

Sky line

The beach was really very lovely. We took lot of walks along it. And the weather was also perfect.

Burj Al Arab

This was the closest we could come to the Burj Al Arab, the famous hotel. If you want to go inside to have a look at everything, it will cost you about 100 dollars.
If you chose this hotel for staying in Dubai, you will be picked up at the airport by a helicopter!

Shopping Malls

The first night in Dubai we took a bus shuttle from the hotel to Mall of the Emirates. It is not only a mall filled with things to buy, they have also a ski slope! People could rent clothes, shoes, snowboards etc. It was minus three degrees behind the big glass walls. We never went in there!

Dubai

It's Eid el Adha.

Holidays for Bo, so we decided to go to Dubai for a couple of days. I have never been here before but always wanted to see what it is like.
Well, it's just crazy!
Having stayed in a country like Egypt for some time, where things never really get finished. This is remarkable because this is totally the opposite.
My God, they are building everywhere, and what projects!

The high building to the right will be one of the worlds highest buildings. At the moment it is 800 meter high! I don't think I would like either to go to the top or work or live there.This is a vision about the future. Not very far from now if the economy stays stable in the Emirates ....?
