Arjaan Al Sufouh Dubai

... it is really amazing. Right from the entry ramp - see photo - it's an awesome place, and inside it's even more fantastic. We were greeted with fresh dates when we arrived, there's an amazing dancing fountain in the foyer, we took the lift to the 27th floor restaurant to get a view, but we only could get a glimpse as it was booked out ...

... there, and now we are back at the Ritz Carlton - and because they messed up our booking, they are looking after us really well!!

We have been catching lots of taxis around the city and one of the many places we have visited so far was Wild Wadi Water Park. This place has lots of water slides and you can catch them and they will take you all around the park without having to walk anywhere or up any stairs - way cool. Also this place is right in ...

... br>The tour took us all over Dubai, the Museum past several Palaces,,, I think I will marry the
sheek if I can find him,,,,,he must be sooooooo rich. We crossed the Dubai river in a wooden boat, visited the gold souk, gold, gold , gold as far as the eye could see,, but not really cheap

Also visited the spice souk, it smelt lovely, Shopped at the Mall of the Emirates ...

... beach which was called the Jumeirah Beach Park, and it cost us 5 dirhams each to go in. Luckily it wasn't a Monday, as only women and small children are allowed on Mondays. The beach was pretty much amazing, beautiful clear and warm water, pretty sand that was incredibly fine grain, and views of the Burj Al Arab in the distance (the famous hotel). We swam for a little while, out to the marker bouys, and then dried off in the sun after a ...

... payed and poor pupils learnt for free. They learnt the Koran, maths, writing, science and pearl diving. In 1962 the school had to move as was ovecrowded and the building starting falling into disrepair until 1995 wen the city authorities made it into a great museum - once again with air con, mannequins, videos etc. We both found it fascinating to see how the students had been taught so long ago and how the place had been restored. It is a beautiful building ...

... internet to confirm the details. He sent us to yet another accommodation building where there was a free to use internet in the lobby and we got the details from an email. We then went back to our security man who was on the phone talking about us and then from a folder took out a form that had our names on it! It transpired that the application had been made too far in advance and it had been assumed that the date was October instead of November and it ...

... area with toboggan slide, bobsled, snowball playplace, ice sculptures, and more. Oh yeah and the whole complex was attached to one of Dubai's nicest malls. We had a chance to also hang out in their ski lodge in the middle of the ski run. It was really cool as Rachel and I had hot chocolate in the complex while it was scorching hot outside. Rachel wanted marshmallows, whipped cream and M&M's on hers so I had to get the manly hot chocolate with.......pink ...

... loudspeakers on the top of all mosques so you can hear the signing all over the city. It was very interesting to hear this singing - quite surreal. It really made you realize you were in an Islamic place. We were lucky to visit Dubai during "the cold season". Cold season is a very relative term since it was 36 and 37 degrees Celsius during our visit, which was nearly unbearable. I cannot even fathom how people survive in the ...

... this is an Arabian thing. Two men couldn't get away with that in the states. But here, it's OK). Then, we kind of...left. Yay shopping! Then we stayed up till 3 am watching weepy movies, and eating restaurant food (which I'm STILL paranoid about). We climbed through this window out onto the roof, and when you looked down, you could see the souqs winding below. And when you ...

Z Kapskeho mesta som cez Londyn priletel do Viedne, vyspal sa doma a znova som vyrazal naspat, lebo nasledujuci den som Letel do Dubaja. Uz len vybavenie viz do Dubaja bola poriadna zaberacka. Letenku som si kupil este v USA, kde mi slubili, ze mi viza samozrejme vybavia. Ked som im vsak poslal vsetky dokumenty a $14 dolarov zrazu zacali hovorit, ze oni viza v podstate vobec nevybavuju. Tak som zavolal so mojho hotela v Dubaji, kde mi prislubili ...
