Dubai

We had a wonderful escape to Dubai for New Year's.

The Dubai that I normally see is modern and artificial.



Driver-less train.




Artificial rocks. Artificial waterfall.


Artificial wave.




World's tallest building. (300m taller than any rival.)



Ice skating in the world's largest shopping mall - in the desert. (I am in this picture.)



Artificial horizon pool


When we went to the bus station we saw some of the older parts of town. Unfortunately no photos. We would like to explore there next time.

Off to Dubai

We're heading to Dubai for a holiday - first time really staying there instead of just transiting. Photos soon.
