DUBAI RULES. PERIOD.


UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

CONCHITA GOES TRADITIONAL MIDDLE EAST


DUBAI RULES


The Burj Al Arab برج العرب, is a luxury hotel. At 1,053 ft, it is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel on earth. The Burj Al Arab stands on an island 910 ft from the beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge.

YEAH, DUBAI RULES


Dubai Creek

DID YOU KNOW DUBAI RULES?







DUBAI RULES

Sheesha, nargyleh, choose apple.... yum. Hard to get out of your seat!



BURJ DUBAI RULES



Current Height and Time Line of Events
As of October 27, 2007 Burj Dubai's official website reported its height to be 585.7 m (1,922 ft), with 156 completed stories. It has now become the world's tallest structure of any type ever built. (Wikipedia)
My cab driver, (right) snuck me through the endless construction zone to this man who was in charge of the Burj security. As you can tell, I made it right up to the base of the tower.

DUBAI RULES


O YEAH!
True story: This is in the MALL OF THE EMERIATES. Not only did I get stuck shopping in this store for like, at least an hour, but the mall was so big that I ended up having security show me how to get out! I was locked inside a mall ......

DUBAI RULES


Starbucks on every corner!! OMG!!!

SKI DUBAI



It's real snow! And the chairlifts were real and it was packed. So so cool. the ski area is in a big metal tube like building that goes probable 30 to 40 stories high.

Then one suggested to me... well, I haven't been that embarrassed in a long time. the world's oldest profession lives!
