Dubai: Days 5 & 6

Day 5: Jumeirah Beach, Shake Shack, Dubai Mall Fountain 

This morning we headed to the beach! Back in the Marina district, there is a beautiful walkway, lined with restaurants and shops on one side and public beach on the other. The painted pathway is the cleanest you'll ever find anywhere. It is literally someone's job to stand there and sweep the sand back to its proper place. You'll find attendents in the bathrooms, ensuring that you'll likely never be in a public beach restroom as dry as this again.

Days 3 & 4: Abu Dhabi & Dubai From Cold To Hot

Day 3: Abu Dhabi, Grand Mosque, Observatory at 300

Today we ventured to Abu Dhabi. Up front: I'm pretty sure the first time I heard of this place was on the Sex & the City movie. Apparently that film was not filmed in Abu Dhabi at all because the leadership denied approval. Abu Dhabi holds an even more strict, conservative reputation than Dubai as far as traditions go.
