We decided to go to Dubai for the Eid holiday - we spent four days there.
I tried to take different photos from the last time I visited.
We took a trip on the hop on/off tour bus around Dubai which takes you around the new and the old Dubai. Its really interesting as you learn alot about the history of Dubai - and you also discover that everything in Dubai is the biggest, most expensive and one of a kind.
