Stopover in Dubai III

Part Three.

Dubai... it is one of the transit destinations for passengers who fly from Brunei to London by Royal Brunei Airlines. It is a shopping haven for Bruneians who got the money and have exhausted the region's shopping cities, malls and complexes of Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur.

In addition to some of us from this South East Asia region, Dubai is also a shopping haven for those who stay in the middle-east region (be them arabs or not) and yeah..yeah..yeah.. you do not have to tell me about those rich arabs too... ahaha. Some of them are so damn rich!.

Dubai.. it is possibly the fastest growing city in the world. Have you heard about Burj Al-Arab or The Palm Islands? The Palm Islands (Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, and Palm Deira) are the largest artificial islands in the world. All of the islands are being built in the shape of a palm tree, with a central trunk and a crown with fronds. They are protected from the open sea by a crescent island that acts as a breakwater.

Unfortunately, I did not have the time to go for the sight-seeing. Maybe next time saja. So, no pictures of those places here. Perhaps, will try to stay in one of those hotels. Anyone who knows how much the room costs? Any generous sponsors out there? Give me a shout, if you are willing to sponsor my next trip.. :)

In the meantime, enjoy these pictures took in Dubai.

Its so big there is a hotel inside the airport




If you get lost, you can always use the Building's Directory




Thats if you could read the Directory.. hehe..




At the end of the day, its how you get your way around Dubai which matters...


Greetingz:

The whole family here would like to take this opportunity to wish sis Erni a happy birthday today.
