Forgot to mention the fantastic last day in Dubai. Returned to the Dubai Mall as we really wanted to see it again. The taxi driver got lost so we had a trip around some of the less obvious tourist areas! But I have the say the mall and surrounding area, with the tallest building in the world dominating everything, is brilliant. When we got back to the hotel we then went out on the Desert Safari adventure. This is well worth going on and involves a trip out of the city into the desert where a whole load of 4x4’s congregate in a large expanse of sand dunes. Then all hell breaks loose as the driver takes on an alter-ego and plunges off into the dunes. Up and over and along and in-between. Sand being thrown up everywhere and lots of side sliding and we never over-turned once. Fantastic.
We then went to this odd place in the desert where loads of us experienced sand-dune experts all sat down, in a most uncomfortable position, to eat a meal. If you happened to be a Bedouin or were less than 10 years old then maybe you were comfortable but my poor old body wasn’t up for it. But I managed to sit still once the belly dancer turned up. Wow. What a cracker. Photos can be sent privately at $10 a time.
