September 14, 2023 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
On Wednesday, September 13th, we left Nairobi at 10:30 pm on an Emirates flight to Dubai . We arrived at 4:50 am on September 14th. Knowing we'd only be in Dubai for a little over 24 hours, we hit the ground running 🏃♂️ . Many of the men wore long white dresses with their heads covered in turbans. We often saw them walking or conversing in twos. The ladies, on the other hand, were dressed in full black dresses with their heads covered in black as well. Kissing and embracing out in the open in Dubai is strictly forbidden, and most hotels in the city do not allow unmarried couples to book the same room. One thing that was easy to feel was the wealth of Dubai. The shopping center put the Mall of America to shame with so many high-end shops. We went to the top of the tallest building in the world, visited the Museum of the Future, and took a boat cruise. We stayed at the Marriott Resort Palm Jumeriah, Dubai. The weather was unbelievably HOT. It would have been fun to enjoy the beautiful hotel more, but early Friday morning, we had a flight to Istanbul.Read more
