Close enough to Santa

Dubai Ski - it was not as big as we imagined.



Interesting shops to put together

The entrance up to the hotel Mina A'Salam



The Burj Al Arab Hotel

Smokin Shisha (hubbly bubbly) - it was mint/grape flavour - really nice

Cocktails and Shisha


Lovin it!!!

Cocktails and beer

Double Shisha
