The tower never needs to hide
These palm trees might give a hint...
Like the Burj Khalifa!
including many tall ones
Passing by several towers
Crusing along Sheikh Zayed road again
it does get as hot as 48 degrees midday
no wonder!
Plants feeling the wrath of the heat
ground shops and fountain in the background
complete with boutique stalls
All overlooked by the behemoth ski slope
The mall central fountain
An atrium in the Emirates mall
The ski cafe
The entrance and suiting up point
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
The place is constantly maintained below freezing
Complete with a full ski slope!
Bow to the Zorb ball
Niffy polar bears!
The front ticketing area
Snow! at the Ski Dubai
Shaun + snowboard can only mean...
There's even a virgin megastore!
decked with fancy over lighting
The mall galleries
Getting at the center of things...
Domes are synonymous in Arbain culture
some stores are so huge, they have their own travelator!
Remembered seeing this store on a discovery channel special on the mall
time to check out the mall!
With our tummies fueled...
Nomage!
The Arabian fast food is rather popular here
Talking about Arabian, Arab food!
So that's how Carl's Jr and subway look in Arabian...
But first! Lunch!
Yes, a ski resort in the desert!
In the desert?
And ski resort
Complete with it's own hotels
The Mall of the Emirates!
Not including the west side :3
The 3rd largest mall in the world
Our next stop...
We can actually see buildings in the distance!
The sand storms are lighter today! :P
An uncompleted monorail station
On our way back!
