Dubai Frame

After the excitement of the dive, we had a nice dinner in the very noisy and chaotic food court in the mall. It’s the end of the Ramadan holidays so the place was jammed with families out and about on a Saturday night.

After an excessively long and circuitous walk through, up and down the long shiny corridors of the mall to find the taxi area, we caught a cab to the Dubai Frame. It was dark at this point, and the frame lit up the sky in a golden glow. It’s big, odd looking, but also beautiful and photogenic. We’d previously bought our tickets, so sailed through, no queues. The lift propels you up in no time and you emerge at the top into what is essentially a long square corridor. It wasn’t very busy, and we got a great view of night time Dubai.

By now we were totally knackered, couldn’t believe we’d managed to stay awake and get through the day 😵‍💫

After another ‘off the books’ cab ride home (these guys are persistent) we relished the thought of returning to our beautiful room which couldn’t be more different to the grim studio room we’d endured in Sydney 😬

One thing amused us…. When we put our room key card in the slot, the curtains automatically opened. Then when we removed the card and left, they automatically closed and all the lights went off (of course we had to video this!).
The room has its own life when left alone, wonder what else it gets up to 😁🤔Read more
