Our one day stopover in Dubai has been interesting. We are visiting during Ramadan and at the hottest time of the year so things seem pretty quiet. Stupidly decided to walk to the spice and gold souks from our hotel shown 'just down the road' on the map. 40 minutes later we hopped in a taxi for the last few blocks as we were sweating more than when do a 40 minute jog! To escape the heat we spent a couple of hours in Dubai mall - the biggest in the world - and with an amazing aquarium. Watched a scuba diver feeding the fish whilst another diver kept watch for the sharks with a stick to prod them away if need be.
Our funniest experience was lunch. The fast food places were selling food (everywhere else was closed cos of Ramadan) but we were sternly told not to eat it in a public place.... mmmm everywhere is public in a shopping mall! So, a tip off led us to the baby change room where we quickly gobbled down our lunch. I have no idea where everyone else was taking their food to eat it - their were queues of people buying food.
