These two places were as impressive as you would imagine. It’s definitely different than the old developing world places. We loved the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. We even took some time to go to a movie. We also drove out to the Palm Islands and looked at the Atlantis resort and the Burj al Arab, the only 7 star hotel in the world. Not sure who designated that. We weren’t allowed in so just took a photo outside the gate.
Jevyn and I went to the Creeksise area where building were built in the old traditional style. We discovered the Museum of Illusions and had so much fun!! Then we had ice cream in a cute little shop before heading back to the ship.
I was looking for my Abu Dhabi pictures but we didn’t have any. That’s because no one wanted to tour around with me and so we went to the mall for internet. Of course, there was no internet at the mall so the day was wasted. But, Abu Dhabi is definitely not as developed or fancy as Dubai. AD is the cultural center of the UAE. The largest attraction is the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque. Here’s a picture I pulled from the internet. Everyone told me it was amazing.
We are off to Oman next.
