Dubai - Day 1

We arrive in Dubai about midnight as our flight was delayed. Next morning we ventured out briefly late morning to check out the temperature but nothing could really prepare us for the 40 degrees & humidity. After reassessing we decided to brave the beach. It had to be done🙂. The water was about 30 degrees so was like a bath so not very cooling but there was a breeze & a few waves. After a quick dry off (no lying on the beach here!) we caught the bus back to the hotel. They even have air-conditioning in the bus stops here🤣. About 4pm we heading to the Dubai Mall, hard to explain the opulence & how everything is over the top. 1200 shops & every possible brand. Very expensive but interesting to browse. The light/fountain show was pretty cool. We spent 5 hours here, not quite sure where that time went!Read more
