Dubai
Dubai (9 to 12 July 2022)
Long 14 hour flight to Dubai via 3 hour flight to Sydney. Arrived in Dubai at 6am in the morning and did our best to stay awake all day by doing a bus tour of the city to gather our bearings. Oh my gosh, this city is huge, both spread outwards and upwards - and out to sea! Not that they need to go out to sea, as there is a sea of desert inland, but because they can!!
The buildings seem to defy gravity. You get the feeling that a kid has made a structure out of Lego and then their dad (or mum!!) has made that shape into a full sized multistory building! And let's just put some mirrors on the outside, because we can! Oh, make sure it is taller than the neighbours! Very few buildings do not have a twist or a strange angle or a curve - no building wants to be plain!
