This photo is taken at the top of Burj Khalifa, the highest building in the world......so far :) We were so hot by this time as we had walked from the metro station to the building in searing heat. Unbeknownst to us there was a bus that took us straight there. We learned the next time when we wanted to go to the Dubai Mall which is in the same area.
Outside the Wafi shopping mall
Dolphins following our boat in the Persian Gulf
Zara and I enjoying the cool wind through our hair as we ride the dhow boat through the fjords in Oman.
A stop for a bit of diving, swimming, snorkelling and floating
A fishing village in Oman that can only be accessed by boat.
Simon going native!
Enjoying a trip to the desert
What a view!
Zara and I riding on a "ship of the desert"
Zara enjoying the zip line at splashland...a good place to cool off in temperatures above 50 centigrade or 100+F
Cooling off in Ibn Battuta mall where each area is distinctly designed into countries/regions such as Egypt, China , Persia, India, Tunisia and Andalusia. It was fascinating to walk through.
This year Simon and I celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We decided to mark this milestone by going to Dubai and visiting some friends that we knew from our Moody days. It was a wonderful holiday and these photos are only a fraction of the ones that we took. Over 700 if I remember rightly. We can bore you anytime if you come visit us. :)

Wow! Amazing!
Loved all the photos. Feel free to share more here since I doubt we'll be swinging by Kampala anytime soon. I was just thinking this morning how one year ago this week we were with you all in bonnie Scotland! Much cooler than 50C!
The kids will remember that trip the rest of their lives!
