Dubai

After a morning swim we headed to Dubai Mall. It has over 1,300 stores and include's one of the world's largest aquariums,  Dubai Ice Rink a Waterfall and Dubai Fountain. We watched the the water fountain which sprays water over 150 meters in the air and has over 1,000 unique water expressions set to music.

After the Water Show we headed to the food court for lunch and found some delicious Greek Giros.  We cruised the mall for a while looking at all the designer shops we can't afford and walked through the Souk bedazzled by the bling.

We then check out the aquarium which we saw last time we were here and it is still impressive.  It has the largest viewing platform on earth and over 30,000 aquatic animals including Sand Tiger Sharks and Stingrays.

After a pomegranate juice we headed back to the hotel.  My knee hurts more today than it has the whole holiday. We got back just before a bit of a sandstorm. The next photo is on the way back to the hotel. The second was about 20 minutes later.  Only lasted about 30 minutes. 

We headed down the road from our hotel and found the AL Shorafaa Restaurant which has Pakistan,  Indian and Arabic cuisine.  We had a mixed grill, Pulao Rice and garlic naan which was delicious. I also had a fresh lime and mint soda which was just like a mahito without the alcohol.

After dinner we walked the block and the only non locals we were offered the usual watched,  bags and perfumes.  Noel wanted a watch so we followed the hawker to his upstairs shop.  Wow he had the lot,  beautifully displayed and much better quality than the Bali and Thai stuff.  After much negotiations Noel bought himself a new Rolex.
