The one and only day in dubai was a nice one. We started with a trip to the Burj Khalifa and ended up in Dubai Mall. The way from the metro exit to the mall is about 1 km, but completely air conditioned and with lots of horizontal escilators to make the walk as comfortable as possible. It's immediately clear where the money is in this world.
After that we went to see the other highlights..the Palm islands and the Burj El Arab hotel..Its pretty weird to see so much modern buildings, shopping malls and 8 lane motorways in the middle of the desert. Whenever there is no concrete or asfalt it's no grass or mudd you see, but just sand, very strange. There's almost no local person around so all you see is a mixture of Indian, Pakistan, Arabian and a couple of western people seeming to enjoy the existense of Dubai.
We went to the old town and after 2 minutes i was dressed as Arafat while i really resisted. One day in Dubai is enough for us, but for some it is their future. For example the taxi driver we met, with his family in Pakistan that he sends money for every month, or all the workers that build all those amazing buildings and artificial islands. Its so amazing what was created here in the last 60 years and the king, who owns like really everything in Dubai, will probably see no reason to stop to invest in the most crazy things here in Dubai.
