Dubai,
September 21-25th 2010
Language- English and Arabic.
Currency- UAE Diram.
Capital- Abu Dhabi
I arrive early morning.
Our approach to the arabian peninsula is greeted with candle sticks along the coast. OIL and GAS.
I watch the videoof us landing at the airport.
When one flies with Emirates you get the benifit of watching this happen right infront of you.
Dubai is a hub and many passengers are transfering to another flight. Few passengers actually make it to the customs. And as of January 2011 all Canadians need to pay for a visa which costs $60 dollars. I was lucky with my trip not yet having this cost.
I take a taxi to a hotel near the airport. My own room with my own fridge and aircon.
THe big attractions are the Mall of the Emirates and the Dubai Mall. One has the indoor ski hills. A few beaches are occupied due to the heat. There comes a time when the sun is too hot and no one will visit the beach.
THe Jurimaih Hotel. The one and only 7 star hotel. $2300/ per night. No thanks.
