Upon our arrival in Dubai and leaving the airport a man approached us enquiring if we wanted a taxi. It seemed quite dodgy so we snuck away when he turned his back. Once we left the airport another man approach us. We gave it a try and he offered a trip for 80 Dirhams. It seemed reasonable ($20) and 5 minutes later (listening to Mumford and Sons and good old Mariah Carey singing All I Want for Christmas) we arrived feeling slightly jipped.
The hotel was lovely and after improving our cleanliness we headed off to the world's largest shopping centre Dubai Mall. It has its own indoor aquarium and an ice rink! We wandered around very western style shops, lingerie, bikinis, Quicksilver and others gradually feeling the effects of a long haul.
We decided on dinner, Iranian served fast food style by an Indian gentleman and listening to Aerosmith. We are so cultured :)
The mall has a fountain show similar to that of the Bellagio in Las Vegas. It was pretty impressive. The world's tallest building next to the fountains was more amazing though. The lights were gorgeous.
Then, we crashed into bed!
