Arabian Days and Nights
This post has been a long time coming! We visited Dubai during the first week of July enroute to India. We came back to Houston on the first week of August and since then, I've been wanting to make this post - but after finally wading through all the 300+ photos I took in Dubai, here are some of the sights of Dubai.
Dubai can be distinctly divided into two parts: Old Dubai where the souqs are, and the general feel is like a typical Arabian city with mosques and bazaars galore. And then there is new Dubai, a showcase of the vibrant oil and tourism economy of Dubai and UAE. This side is represented by the skyscrapers, the hotels and the malls. Lets just say, in Dubai you can enjoy the best of both worlds!
Old Dubai:
