Burj Khalifa, Dubai

After bidding Judy and the rest of the dance troupe farewell – they were heading straight on to Europe, Steven and I spend a few hours exploring Dubai. Interesting mix of old and new. We visited an historic area round the old fort, then on to the world’s tallest building before we returned to the airport for our onward flight.

Fahidi historic district, Dubai

We noticed a dense plume of smoke as we wandered round. apparently one of the dhows on the riverside went up in flames.

The outside temperature was very hot – thankfully we weren’t there in mid summer. We are glad there are showers in the airport.

We must go back in winter (cool) and have a few days to explore.
