Our Dubai experience was short but crazy fun!! We landed around 2:30pm in the afternoon and it was already 42 degrees. After a long 14 hour flight we checked into our hotel and had a quick rest before braving the Dubai Souks at night. It was still around 38 degrees at 9pm and deciding to walk through the markets was probably not the best idea come to think about it. We were definitely the only tourists within a 100km radius and we kinda stood out. Within about 100 metres I could have tried a camel burger and bought about 20 fake LV handbags - it had it all!!
Our second day was a little more low-key with hours of shopping time in Dubai Mall - what an experience that was. Everything you could possibly imagine under one roof. In the afternoon we got a taste of the incredible 7 star hotel - Burj Al Aarb, had a fancy drink and something to eat on the beach near-by and even tried some traditional Shisha (fancy pipe smoking). Next up....London Town
The ridiculously lavish Burj Al Arab, inside and out
The other side of Dubai by night - very hot and steamy!

I'm so glad you got to spend some time in Dubai. Sounds like you hit all the right hot spots, too! If you have time on your way back, we'd love to treat you to a visit in Abu Dhabi. Just let me know!
