Here we are! Finally we are in Dubai. After a stopover in London and one in Amsterdam, we arrived this morning. Unfortunately we can't connect to the internet with our cellphone here (in order to post some pictures!) but we can use computers in the hotel, so we can almost send some updates about our arabian adventures!
This morning, as soon as we arrived, the temperature at 6am was already at 36C. And it was kind of foggy...which wasn't fog but the rest of the last sand storm! Fortunately tomorrow it will be gone. During the day, we enjoyed some relax around the hotel pool and we went around in the old souqs, where it's kind of difficult to look at the shops, because as soon as you watch a shop window, the owner asks you to go in and buy something. So we basically decided to go straight and just keep saying :" Thanks, we are just having a look around...maybe we come back later!". :)
Anyway, wandering around the souqs with the sound of the muslim prayer was very exotic!
In the evening we went to to a great shopping mall, because we needed some air conditioning!!!! Have a look!
Hope to be able to post soon again!
