Dubai - Day Three

Day Three was just wandering around the massive (1200 stores) Dubai Mall.
We never even ventured above the first floor!!!


An amazing water fall inside the Mall


Heaven!!!! Pork is banned in the muslim religion - so there is no pork to be found in Saudi.




Me and my stash of Pork - and yes I managed to get through customs.


Somehow I don't think this would have made it through customs

Teri (sober), Kellie and Chris terribly hungover after a hard night at the Irish Village.

Dubai Day Two - New Years Eve

Day two in Dubai - we took the city bus tour - one bus takes you around the old sites of Dubai and the other takes you round the modern Dubai. It was a really long day but a good way to see the sites - you can hop on and off the bus all day.


This was taken the night before in the Mina A'Salam Hotel.
