Dubai Creek

Nuestro viaje de 100 días empezó en el terminal 4 del aeropuerto de Barajas, Madrid, en donde nos embarcamos en el vuelo 142 de Emirates con destino Dubai.

Dubai, una ciudad donde está claro que existe el lujo pero en donde no está muy claro hasta qué punto se respetan los derechos humanos, más que atraernos siempre nos ha dado escalofríos …

Today was the day to venture out into the city (under the watchful eye of Arabian Adventures tour guide Anwar) and see the new and old parts of the city. We visited the late Sheik's Summer House of the 1950's, the Dubai Heritage Village, Dubai Museum, taxied across Dubai Creek on an 'abra' (water taxi) , and last but not least, made our way through …

Hummers, Porsche's, palm islands and designer clothes is the typical lifestyle although no backpacker fault the shishas and beaches. On the last night we visited the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa and …

Dubai was definitely not on our list, we decided to come only as it was a good stop-over on our way to Kenya. We booked our room at the XVA gallery as it seemed arty, and special.

Puisqu'on ne voulait pas risquer être trempé par la pluie, nous avons opté pour le plan B: Children's City. C'est un parc extérieur destiné aux enfants de 3 ans à 12 ans avec des tours de poney, des jardins de fleurs …
