To sum up Dubai in a single post is difficult, but at least you’ll get a flavor of our adventures. The sun finally came out for good as we hit the road for an hour and fifteen minute trek to Dubai. We went up the tallest building in the world, from the largest mall in the world, walked along the Persian Gulf, shopped among incense, fabric and jewelry stores and ate and drank a fair bit. These few shots capture just a few of the highlights…

Up as high as an airplane in the Burj
We were up 124 floors, but there was still this much to go
You can see the water off the in the distance – we had a 360 degree view
The most expensive vending machines in the world – a bit of gold anyone?
Back down on earth for drinks at the hotel
We had a nice patio practically to ourselves to watch the sunset
Our view (after many drinks) after dark
Smoking shisha after dinner by the pool…
Mmmmm….grape-mint shisha
One of the best views from a Starbucks ever?
Before heading out we had to hit a little shopping at a traditional souk
