Remembering Dubai

Finally had some time to give an update after the trip from Dubai UAE. It was a good experience for me to see how world is like in the middle east. Arabics are really rich pple. The standard of living in Dubai is so much higher than SG. Most Arabics own luxurious and big car. I am impressed by the way the country is run.

Despite being an Islamic country, Dubai is very open to foreigners. Majority of the population are expatriates. You can easily find all kind of food. The only thing is price. I remember buying a packet of steam rice for S$7. I was so hungry tat nite and decided to buy a pack of rice with bbq chicken. Din expect the plain rice to cost so much.

Shopping is a in thing in Dubai. There are plenty of large shopping centres around. You can spent a whole day by shopping in one mall. One can get lost within the mall. By walking from one end to the other, it can take up to 15 mins. Can you imagine the scale of the shopping mall? One tat left a great impression in me is this bar call Chill out Dubai. We had to wear winter clothings in a cafe, where the temperature is only -6 degree celcius.

Very good experience as I get to drink hot milo and some satay plus hot soup. Feel very comfortable. I was served with milk shake on a glass made of ice. Something very unique n different. As for the weather there, it is freaking hot during the day. There was once when temperature shot up to 45 degree celcius.

The desert safari was an eye opener for me. Taking a 4 wheel drive round the sand dunes, then had bbq dinner and dance performance under the clear sky, it was really one of a lifetime experience. Lights were turned off for 5 minutes while we gaze at the clear sky in the desert. Really fantastic. There was also camel ride but I din had the time to ride on it. hahha. But i took a couple of photos with the cute camels.

The accomodation that i had was fabulous. It was a service apartment. Nice and spacious room. The other was the tallest hotel in the world call Rose Raayhan. It had nice views and the room was equally good. I stayed on the 44th floor. I could literally see the Arabic Gulf. Nice sea views. The tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa was magnificient. At the ground floor is a water fountain display tat reminds me of Las Vegas. hahaha.. I think RWS still got a long way to learn.

So much for the memorable middle eastern trip. I hope there will be more to come! lol
