Stopover in Dubai

Here we are in Dubai for a 3 night stopover staying on an Emirates package. This morning we took an abra, an old style wooded boat, across Dubai Creek to visit the Gold and Spice Souks. Was very interesting and shows the contrast  of the futuristic and traditional side of Dubai.

We went on the Sundowner Dune Dinner Desert Safari late afternoon, enjoying an exciting drive over sand dunes before being taken to a Bedouin camp for an evening dinner under the stars.

We watched the sunset over the dunes , enjoyed a camel ride, had plenty of wine & beer and a really good belly dancing performance - the belly dancer was the best we have seen.
