The day came for preparing myself for a long long trip in the plane. For 14 hours I will be in a kind of jail, the airplane. But now, we are in Festival City where we ate our breakfast, so I don't get hungry when I'm traveling. Also we put this food in a doggybag, I just forgot it in the car. …

Everyone slept in due to the late night resulting from the Sea View Hotel incident…even Samia was up late with an upset stomach.  By the time we ate breakfast, showered and read the paper it was about 1PM before we pushed off.  I gained consensus to visit Dubai Museum, although M…

We were woken at the ungodly hour of 3.30am with an alarm call (we'd only got a couple of hours sleep as we ended up watching a couple of episodes of Little Britain in the evening) and 5 minutes later our breakfast arrived! We were brought an amazing selection of pastries, toast and fruit juice, an…

During our early morning cab-ride to the airport, the lady on the radio reported the the temperature would be around 41ºC (106ºF) today. Whoa! Dang! That's hot! Good day to be leaving I guess. So we are off to Amman, Jordan (relatively cool, I think!) with a three-hour layover in Bahrain. See you…

The next morning I awake at 8am. I take a hot shower due to lack of cold water. Then I survive breakfast without suffocating and step outside into the heat again. My first stop for today is Ibn Batutta Mall. Thinking the taxi ride would take only about ten minutes I’m quite surprised to…

And so, our full (well almost full day, we had time till 6pm) to see Dubai. Fabulous magnificent Dubai. Hot hotter hotter-than-hot heat filled Dubai. Rather than take the Big Bus tour available here, we spoke to our Hotel Concierge on fixing us up with a private taxi. Our taxi driver, whose name wa…

7 days was just right to see Dubai and relax at the beautiful beaches! Water is seethrough and very warm. Not much fish, only lots of starfish hidden in the sand. For those who think "shopping", it is not much cheaper than in the US, but might be if you're from Europe, which is pretty expensive these days. Once there, you have to go on a Safari trip, which includes dune bashing, camel ride and belly dancing performance! Wild Wadi water park was fun, but a bit expensive for its size!

I had the Dubai City tour for glimpse of the spectacular tourist spots. Starting from the Cultural landmark of Dubai, the Jumeirah Mosque, Jumeirah beach road, the Jumeirah beach and the world's only 7 star hotel the Burj Al Arab. Also seen the Abu dhabi,Sharjah, Ajman,Fort museum, Majarah Souk, Al Naboodah House, The King Faisal Souk, The Pearl Monument and the Blue & Gold Souk. Thrilled in Desert safari, Camel ride, Dhow cruise and The Wadi Waterpark.

I just want to share some of my photos.

I, have traveled to Dubai and through Dubai on many occasions, each time is fresh as there is continued progression in construction and improvement of services. On June 01, my daughter and I staying in Dubai and found there was massive construction at the airport and on the highways. Dubai Internat…

So after a day of catching up with sleep, Henry and I decided to go out and see a little bit of Dubai.  We soon learned that we are actually quite a distance locale-wise to any hip places in Dubai except for Festival City which was recommended by our hotel's reception.  Since there are no…

My last days in Dubai, the time was ticking for the new year as well.  After 7 years of being in UAE finally, I have the heart of moving out.  Moving to the world still unknown to me.  Everyone was trying to talk me out of my decision, but hey, too long in a place made me feel stagna…

TEY, (allsontey) had a birthday on Aug 18th and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes. But the more I looked the more I found myself removing cars and other people.  I hope he i…
