The Tower of Arabs (Burj Al Arab) Dubai

I arrived in Dubai, the first leg of my trip, with Clair after what seemed like the longest flight ever and got a taxi to our hotel. The traffic here is crazy, cars driving all over the road with no lines, i was supprised not to see any carnage. After checking in we went to the Dubai mall. It was probably the biggest mall i've ever seen, it had its …

So kann man unseren zwei Tages Ausflug nach Dubai am schnellsten beschreiben.

Der erste Tag begann mit der Landung, dem Transfer und dem Frühstück das wir noch sehr schlaftrunken eingenommen haben, da FlyDubai zwar günstige aber nicht sehr bequeme Flüge in die arabische Methropole anbietet. Was …

And so we arrived safely in Dubai, got through the airport formalities quickly and there was our beloved Tam Cat. It's funny - talking to Sharon about this part of our trip - I had only noted that we had a speedy passage through the formalities - however her memories are somewhat different - she remembers being totally in awe of the vastness and …

First stop Dubai, Thanks to my sister for the free accom and cheap airfares :) Had a good time and watched the all blacks v france final in a bar packed full of kiwis. Went to ski dubai for my first snowboarding of the trip, was an interesting experience walking in from 40deg heat to a ski field environment. Also went to a waterslide park and went …

We stayed for four amazing days in Dubai and loved every minute however it's not a backpacker destination because it's rich, rich, rich. 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. They arranged the pick-up at the airport, which was a great idea, as you cannot reach the hotel by car because it is in the old town. The rooms were like in 1001 nights, …

After being diagnosed with a parasite and armed with a course of tablets to curb it once and for all, we are ready to complete our final destination - Dubai.

Dubai is very opulent. It has everything you would find in South East Qld all jammed into one city. Dubai's shopping malls have every label/designer you can think of, and more! Its …

Very slow start to the day today, taking full advantage of my last day on holiday. I spent the morning catching up on reviewing all my photos lunching in my room before heading out for the City of Merchants tour.

The tour gave me an insight into Dubai's history. Our first stop was a for photos at the Burj Al Arab. We didn't actually get …

To those of you who were maybe expecting more pictures, sorry but we were so busy and believe me, I was disappointed as well.

The days are all kind of a blur since I've waited a while to write about my trip but I'll try my best. I'm still really tired from the trip so I'll probably just ramble about a few random things.
