Dubai - Faris Fakri - Fotopages.com

Today, I want to share a few photos that I took when I was in Dubai couple of weeks ago. I departed from KLIA on 24th May 2007 and transit at the Abu Dhabi airport. The original plan was to go to Bahrain instead of Dubai. Unfortunately, there's something happened regarding my ticket from Abu Dhabi to Bahrain. If I'm not mistaken, the airport said the ticket has not yet been issued, so I had to overnight in Abu Dhabi while waiting for the next flight. The transit was supposed to be merely 4 hours.

Well, considering I have wasted lots of time there so I decided to change my journey. I cancelled my trip to Bahrain and went to Dubai. If you take a bus, it just takes 2 and a half hours to Dubai from Abu Dhabi anyway, so that sounds interesting to me considering lots of people been talking about the fabulous Dubai, and I decided to see it by myself.

So, here are a few pictures to be shared...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A little description...

Picture no. 1
The hotel swimming pool which is located on top of the roof and too bad, I totally forgot to jump into the pool! But if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare to jump during day time because of the weather... man it's so damn hot! It's burning my skin seriously!

Picture no. 2
I took the view from the roof top. What a massive construction in Dubai. You've got to see it! The place is kind of hazzy and dusty because of it. If you go there, you can see there are constructions everywhere. I wonder if I go back 5 years later, how would Dubai looks like.

Picture no. 3
Just another tourist place. I love the architecture and design. The islamic look.

Picture no. 4
I call this booth Sisha Shop. Although they aren't just selling sisha bottles or whatever you call it, they have plenty of designs & sizes. I was thinking to buy one actually but em... I didn't buy it. Don't ask me why.

Picture no. 5
Found this shop while walking around. They sell photographs. When I saw all the photographs, I had a thought in mind... if I could sell any of my photos to them, I could make some money. Well, do they want my photos? I don't know...

Picture no. 6
Dubai Drydocks. That's what it says. A place where they fix or service cargo, ships. I didn't go in. Just took it from outside. Was in the car actually.

Picture no. 7
Tallest building in the world in the making.

Picture no. 8
Burj Al-Arab. First time I saw it, it reminds me of Celcom building in Kuala Lumpur. They look kind of alike to me. Burj in translation is a tower. You wouldn't want to rent a hotel room there. They say, the cheapest room in the hotel is $18,000.00 USD per night and it can go up to $43,000.00 USD. Well... anyone?

Picture no. 9
United Arab Emirates flag.

Picture no. 10
I know guys like it don't you? Tourists enjoy sunbathing at Dubai beach. I couldn't think of any reason why in the world these people are willing to lay down under the 45 degrees weather. Even I couldn't stand out there for 15 minutes when I was there to take pictures of Burj Al-Arab.

I hope you guys enjoy reading and looking through my journey pictures to Dubai. If I have more time, I would post more photos and stories insya'allah. Till then...

Regards,
