If I keep being wordy about this, I might need about 10 parts, so decided to go the photo route ;). Here goes:
Day 5:
 |
| At the Aquarium at Dubai Mall |
 |
| Stood near the tank of Piranhas for a long time to get a click of those teeth ;). |
 |
| I hope they can't come out of there! |
 |
At the top of Burj Khalifa, actually the 124th floor.
I clicked about 20 pics of the sun setting gradually, will not bore you with all of them ;) |
Also saw the Fountain show which is next to the mall, no pics as it was dark by then, but it was quite spectacular.
Day 6 and 7 were spent mainly meeting friends, which was very relaxing after all the hectic sightseeing and walking around and a lovely catching up as well.
Day 8:
 |
| A "quick" camel ride at the Desert Safari |
 |
| Mehndi is a part of the experience, but this "extra shiny" one came at a cost :). |
Day 9:
IKEA! No pics allowed inside, which made sense I suppose.
 |
Got driven around on the Palm Jumeirah which is completely reclaimed land
This pic has the Burj Al Arab adjoining the sea and the Burj Khalifah in the background |
 |
| Another breathtaking sunset from the same location |
Day 10:
We nearly gave this one a miss, but as I had promised D some snow we managed to just about make it to Ski Dubai.
I found Dubai's lampposts most fascinating. I must have seen and tried to click at least 7-8 varieties, here are a couple of them :).
And it was time to be back and into our routines before we knew it!
