"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

***Dubai, #2***

I don’t know how many malls there are here but we went to two.  The first one was called the Mall of the Emirates.  This mall is so big that it has two large food courts.  I needed a quarter pounder, fries, and a diet coke.

The mall also has an enclosed ski resort!!  It had a chair lift and a rope tow.  Anyone could pay and go in.

Sorry about the reflection of the glass.

It was fun watching the Muslim women and men enjoying the snow.

I could have gone back to the ship  now but Dennis was sure that we wouldn’t go back out if we did.  He was probably right.  It is about 93 degrees. Thank goodness it is a dry heat.

We had taken the blue route this morning so now we will take the red route on the Big Bus.  This will take us more to the business part of town.

If you could see the whole building, you would see the tallest building in the world.

This building was the Gold Mall.  Store after store in this mall deals with gold jewelry.  There are no other kind of stores in it.

We went to the City Center Mall and had Subway for dinner.  We walked around the mall waiting for the time to take the Night Time Tour on the Big Bus.  My camera does not do well in the dark and moving at the same time.

This map shows their newest project.  They are moving dirt out into the water to make islands in the shape of world.

 

We went back to the City Center Mall and got a cab to take us back to the pier.  It was after ten o’clock at night.
