Outside the Jumeirah Mosque
I admit I fell asleep whilst the bus was making its way around skyscraper after skyscraper and construction project after construction project.
The next thing I knew, the guide was talking about palaces, and peacocks were scattered by the roadside.
Then it was time to admire more skyscrapers, construction projects, and 5-star hotels I'll never afford to stay in.
But next stop, the Dubai Museum. You can tell I was excited. The entrance was filled with reconstructed boats and houses from the past; the main part of the museum contained lots of information boards, exhibits and wax figures. Then, to my delight, we entered the archaeological section with lots of displays of old jewellery, pottery and even skeletons! (I took tons of pictures but there's not enough space for all)
After which we entered the gorgeous marina with its equally gorgeous marina-front properties.
*turns green with envy*
And soon enough the Burj Al Arab had appeared in the horizon...
Then the bus drew to a stop in front of one of the nicest beaches I have ever seen.
Gah. Haven't seen such a nice beach since South Africa.
Anyway, as you can see the beach was so enchanting, we kind of forgot about the Burj Al Arab looming over at the side. In fact, we were so engrossed with the water that the driver had to horn at us to get back!
