dxb, p5: last day
Beaching. Malling (not shown). Safaring. Had a fantastic time DXB! Can’t wait to go back. Taken on November 3, 2017 wondering how vacation time flies by so fast. —
(dxb), p4: oh man, oman
Who’s up for a road trip? Headed to the “Norway of Arabia” for a totally different scene. Beautiful fjords + cruising the blueish, greenish Arabian Gulf on a dhow. So lucky to visit the remote Musandam in Oman. Wish I got to see more.
dxb, p3: burj khalifa, souks, abra, and more
Busy day that started at Burj Khalifa and the ended at Burj Khalifa. In between, went to the Gold Souk, Old Souk, and Spice Souk; took an abra (water taxi) and the metro (riding in the women and children car); and ended up back at the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. Whew…that was tiring!…
