Dubai - What a posh city!

My first time ever to visit the Arab world. I didn't know really how Dubai was going to be. Only seen pictures about skyscrapers and that they have worlds tallest building. I was really surprised how everything is so nice and they have everything available. All the food chains from US and so much fancy places. The breakfast in my hotel was so far the best I ever had. Fresh berries and juices were really what sealed the first prize!

We also went for a sand safari with a jeep and rode a few kilometers on the dunes. Felt like the car was going to flip over a few times. Madmax rally! My stomach did a few flips here too. 20-30 minutes is more than enough of this. And DON'T do it if you get seasick.


Hello Taiwan! Taichung city brings back memories few years ago....

The new Hong Kong - Macao bridge is now open. And this manmade island is an opening to a bridge that goes below the sea. Worlds longest bridge! 52 km! 
 Evening snack in Hong Kong to get some sleep on the night flight. If you ever get a chance to go to HK and happen to have a one world platinum card, head to The Pier by Gate 64 
Hong Kong hallways, I must have been here 100+ times 
 Good morning Dubai! Another new country this year

 A stroll around Meraas beach 

 So much new buildings, it's like a huge Tsukuda area 
 Taking the monorail to Atlantis
 My second Atlantis! The one in Bahamas and here are some really amazing places 


 Here fishy fishy 

 Looks like a nice and empty white sand beach 
 Standing outside the hotel waiting for a cab with this view...Majestic skyline!! 
 Evening run 
 End the run didn't last so long, sooo much shopping area to watch around the Jumeriah beach 
 Cool waterpark 
Like Pipe Dreams we used to play on Windows 95 
 Arabian Nights is a highly recommended restaurant to visit! So cozy, good price and amazing food 



 Would have been best skyline of Dubai if it wasn't for that building in the way. My gym from 54 floor was amazing! 
 Some really fresh honey at breakfast...
 Mustang stretch! 
 Sooooo much skyline 
The Tower of all towers! 
 We up at 800+ meters! 
 Never seen anything like this! Because there isn't anything else like it :) 

 Desert safari was something else! 
Let's go! Madmax time! 
 Hold on to your helmet! 

 Our Emirs and a red red sunset 
 Camels chilling 
 Hawk catcher 
 What a night it was in the dunes! No filter added 
 While having dinner there were some dancing performances, and this dragon too 
 Liked this American diner 
 Same same but at night 
 Taking the boat at Old Souk market 


 Coolest bank entrance I've seen. Good job Iran! 
 Worlds only 7 star hotel! Someday stay here for a night....2000 USD "only" 
 Nice! Very nice!
