Happy New Year!
Spent the past week in Dubai and it was great fun. Went to the beach, swam in the Arabian Gulf, shopped my heart out, and visited the aquarium. For New Years Eve, we went on a desert safari. It wasn’t everything I expected but it was fun.
The ride out to the campsite would have consisted of more dune bashing if the women in the front seat wasn’t carsick. We were told the food at the campsite was going to be a BBQ, but it was Indian, as was the music. The dance floor could have been one you would find any where in the States except it was filled with people of all ages. The air was cool and the sky was clear, it really was a nice night to be outside. We opted out on the camel ride but enjoyed getting to know the other people at our table. It sure was a memorable way to ring in 2010.
The first photo is of the beach we went to. You are not allowed to take pictures on the beach but can in the park that is attached to the beach. The second picture is of the park attached to the beach and in the distance you can see the Burj Dubai (now called the Burj Khamira; aka worlds tallest building).
