Weekend in Dubai -- Photos

Enclosed, please find much delayed photos from Dubai, weekend of November 6-7.


We booked our tickets via Flydubai, a new budget airline that just started flights into and out of Dubai this year.

Taking the new metro for a spin


It was a HOT day -- memories of Doha back in September all over again


Etisalat Tower 2


Sunset at the beach


Dinner at a beachside Italian restaurant


Night lights -- on the right is the view of a city from Barasti, one of the big-name bars in town


A Chihuly sculpture! (@ the Atlantis Hotel)


Ocean-themed Atlantis deco


More of the Atlantis


The Burj Dubai (Dubai Tower) and Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) -- maybe we'll get closer some other time.



Mall of the Emirates, where there were Christmas decorations. Not expecting those.


Ski Dubai, the infamous indoor ski slope


Yeah, you wouldn't know there's a crisis just from looking around here





Our last hours, spent at the beach -- good weekend.
