Dubai

For the weekend I decided to visit Dubai. Dubai is only 45 miles south of Ras Al Khaimah. Found a good on-line deal and booked it. After work on Thursday took a nice drive and checked into the hotel. The room was very nice. The hotel would be a five star in the USA. Took a walk around the hotel and discvered that dinner was going to be more costly than what I felt like paying. I grabbed a taxi and took off for the Mall of Emirates.

The mall is awsome! Three floors and huge! The food courts (2) have anything you could want. You can see me at my table at a Chinese restaurant, check out the background! You could spend a week at this place. I walked around and did some window shopping. I will go back again.

Yesterday I spent the entire day driving around and sightseeing. I purchased a couple of good maps before I left RAK and they reall helped me get around. Thirty years ago there was nothing here, Everything here is new. Construction everywhere. The classified ads are full of jobs at great pay. They totally rely on ex-pats to do the majority of the work.

Till the next post take care
