From the UAE to the URT

To catch up a bit, we started our trip with a fantastic visit with great hosts in Dubai. We experienced some of the extremes of Dubai, from braving the midday heat in search of falafel, minted lemonade and spice souks, to entertaining ourselves with the thrills of indoor skiing and dune bashing, to exploring some of the Emirate's extravagant construction projects, like the tallest building in the world (Burj Khalifa), the only 7 star hotel (Burj al Arab), and the floating community of the Palm development.
