O/T - Dubai Pics (follow up blog)
Apr 10, 2011
Hi - here are a few pics which I've taken over the past year for those of you who asked for them following yesterdays blog. I'm a Brit living in Dubai - I've been out here about 2 1/2 years now and LOVE it - it's such an interesting place to be. I came out to work on mobilising the Dubai Metro which is now in operation and am currently taking a career break.Enjoy !

Row 2 - Burj Khalifa, view from 124th floor of Burj Khalifa, Camping Trip in the Desert, Burj al Arab, Dubai Creek, sunset from my balcony looking over Jumeirah Beach Resort

Burj Khalifa - currently the tallest building in the World
Burj Al Arab - the worlds first 7* Hotel - they do an incredible afternoon tea !
90% of the UAE is desert - so we have a HUGE playground ! as well as some fabuluous shopping Malls and beaches and tourist attractions * (please note that I'm not employed by the Tourist Information Board!!)
