The view of the mall atrium
Iconic tent-thingie included!
Checking out Arabian sweets in the supermarkets
Strolling and exploring the nearby town
That might happen if we run out of ad space on taxi roofs!
The stadium by the bus station on our way back
Back at our hotel in no time! That's all for our Abu Dhabi trip!
But it became 3 hours instead due to a highway jam
A nice day to visit the Dubai mall!
Morning coffee check!
The Burjuman center in the early mornings
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
Anything with a dolphin rocks!
Apparently this brings you out the Arabian gulf
For our transportation for the day
Hitting the metro into the city!
Digging the station lighting
All board and wrap speed captain!
Commence overground surfacing
Aye captain!
Various sights along the metro
Visibility is rather good today. No sand storms. :P
Passing by the world trade center
In a station
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
Departing on the train again
Inside the trains
Rolling into the Al Murooj area
Towards Al Bada'a
The red metro line is the only main operational line
besides a smaller green line in the shurbs
and runs completely along the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road
Passing by Dusit
Another train in the station
And here is our destination!
So much for a metro experience!
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
Where is the Dubai mall?
The mall grand entrance
And gold souk entrance
half the run down of the mall front
Time to check out the world's largest shopping mall!
The grand entrance lobby area
Niffy!
Towering ribbons is always nice
Here we are at the boutique shops
The place is crawling with designer labels
There are just oo many of them
Just to name afew
The stores are really nicely themed too
