Путешественник Glad you enjoyed the experience. We were in a convoy of vehicles that had to keep stopping for someone to be sick. That for me was a blessing as it allowed time for my stomach to settle before the next high speed maneuvers.

The Dubai Mall is next to our hotel and has over 1200 shops - shoppers heaven. It also houses the Dubai Aquarium, the Dubai Waterfall and the Dubai Fountain.
