Libby and I arrived in Dubai late at night, so started the exploring on Saturday morning. As it was 43 degrees, decided the best way to see the city was by hop-on-hop-off bus. It started touring the city centre, including Dubai Creek where ships and dhows are loaded up with goods and exported through out the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Next the bus went along Jumeirah beach, and had a good view of Burj Al Arab hotel. We stopped off at Mall of Emirates, which has 400 stores under one roof so we spent most of the afternoon there (bit strange being in a mall after 6 weeks of no shops or retail therapy with exception for open air markets).

Following day was more exploring around Dubai.
