Dubai Again

Nonna had never been to Dubai, so Friday morning we got up and took a day trip there.  We had a ton of fun exploring the city again.

 We went back to Madinat Jumeriah to show Nonna the little shopping area

 We went to the Mall of the Emirates to look around and to see the indoor ski hill!

 Us in front of Ski Dubai (Eliza now just refuses to even look at the camera)

 
We drove out to look at the palm tree shaped, man-made island, Palm Jumeriah.  Again, just another  nutty thing found in the Gulf States.  Hotel Atlantis (only other one is in the Bahamas) is found on this artificial island.  Another Google Image of what Nonna and Olivia are standing on:


 That would be the tallest building in the world,  Burj Al Khalifa

 Olivia could not believe she was sitting right by the tallest building in world!!

 
Taking photos of it :)





 People were gathering for an hour down by the water before the first water show.  We had a great seat from the restaurant the Mike found an available table for us at the last minute.

 So cool!  The girls loved the show (Mama did too)

Both are also really pretty at night with the lights.
