A day in Dubai

I had one day to see the Middle Eastern city of Dubai. Dubai is a sprawling city of countless highways, towering sky scrapers, hot desert sun, and a permanent hazy sky. Middle Eastern oil wealth flows into Dubai and has built the world's tallest structure the 2722 ft. Burj Khalifa, which I saw up close. Dubai is a strange place - being very westernized while holding onto some of its traditional Middle Eastern roots. I walked through one of its many mega malls spotting a Tim Hortons and a skating rink. Thankfully, I made it to the traditional old town as well and experienced the interesting street life and historic buildings of this desert city. After a half day of exploring Jenn's flight arrived and we prepared for our last leg into Madrid. More Dubai Photos
