Dubai, UAE 12May14

There was no one in line for the airport customs

and the process was smooth as

it was nearly midnight 

when we arrived in Dubai.

Emirates' contracted limousine driver 

picked us up at Dubai Airport.

It took only 15 minutes to Taj Palace hotel we stay for 3 nights.

Nice hotel and the room was huge!

We took a complimentary shuttle bus organised by hotel

and went to the Dubai Mall.

The biggest shopping mall in the world with 1200 shops!

Impressive!

I managed to get a ticket and went up to the observation deck

to the tallest building in the world. (828m, 163 floors)

Burj Khalifa

Views from the observation deck located on 124th floor

The Aquarium in the mall was the biggest 
Aquarium in the world
until China took the record in April 2014.

We also went to the Mall of Emirates 

where world famous indoor ski slope is.

Lovely meal we had in the mall's restaurant.

They were delicious! ^^
