OK seriously, by the time we managed to change to the blue route, it is way into 2pm or so. We also realised then that the blue route is really a very long route and even if we don’t get down the bus, apparently it took like 3 hours to complete one round. Crap! Well, we will just have to make the most of it from the top tier of the bus and pretend we’ve been there. So, here are some pictures I managed to capture.
Jumeirah Mosque is apparently the most attractive mosque in Dubai. Supposedly it is a photo taking place and there's entrance fee imposed to go inside the mosque.
Air-conditioned bus stop, ahhh ... we should have this is Malaysia.
Can you believe we get to see green lawn like this in the middle of the desert. Apparently it consumes 1 million gallon of water a day to have greens like this everywhere in Dubai.
Dubai Mall is the largest mall in the world
Burj Al-Arab is the most luxurious hotel in the world
So you get to see The Palm all the time from picture taken from air. Now this is on the land, see the car is heading towards one of the branch of The Palm.
Want to stay at The Palm? Yeah, look at the houses you can buy here, well if you have millions of dollars
OK, while I was there, this building is called Burj Dubai but now it is renamed to Burj Khalifa in recognition of the support Khalifa has given to Dubai during the economic crisis. This building which stands at 828metre is now the tallest structure in the world. It is about twice the height of KLCC. Hmmm, think this is our modern version of 'Tower of Babel' ... built so high to reach the heaven?
After cruising for like maybe 2 hours, we finally hop down at the ‘Mall of the Emirates’ because it houses the world first indoor ski slope! Imagine skiing in a desert country … now that is really style.
Our last stop was at Deira City Centre so that we can do some budget toy shopping for my son and we then catch a cab from there to Dubai airport for our flight back to KL. Well, I must say that it is not what I have expected it to be. I didn't really have the jaw-dropping, gawking, stunning moments while there. Still, at least I’ve set my foot at The Palm and which some picture might have been taken from the satellite at the same time and I’m in there … ha!
