Places I've been and want to visit Part 1 - DUBAI

BEEN THERE!

I want to go back! Recently I've been obsessed with my memories of Dubai. Dubai holds the world building summit annually and recently Australia's Multiplex has won the $389, 000,000 building contract - I want to go there and work...

Dubai. The quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping, mountains, beaches, deserts, camel racing, Bedouin markets and legendary duty-free shopping, all packed into a relatively small area.

Driving from Jumeireh Beach to the city along the 4 lane road comprising of many 4 lane round-a-bouts (Very hard to imagine not being involved in an accident there on a daily basis) on the left there are science-fiction skyscrapers alongside the mosques and to the left wind towers of Old Dubai with too many camels to count *slurp*

Dubai is one of the richest citys in the world with grat thanks to oil. Dubai, where you can have The World if you wish or The Palm Islands which has been self-declared 'Eighth Wonder of the World'.

I was lucky enough to be staying at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. This hotel was luxury. Luxury. Luxury. I was spolit by this 6 star hotel. Beautiful Egyption sheet, goose down pillows, godiva chocolates on the pillows and what a view from the balcony!

I stayed here:

I loved being in the middles of the dessert and able to go to the beach!

Of course I went to Wild Wadi Fun Park! The most amazing water slide collection, with slides that actually push you UP the slides, not using gravity like they normally do when you ride down them.
