Henna tattoo

What can be better souvenir from Dubai than a nice henna tattoo that will go off after a week, but will attract that curious look from people back in your country?

Atlantis Dubai

So much money spent to build the Atlantis..., but, hmm, public space interiors are so kitchy. Money well spent?

So hot...

45 C degrees is rather normal temperature now in Dubai. Shade is much sought after.

Big Boys Toys

Replica of Lotus Super 7 on Dubai roads - as you can imagine, the car draws everybody's attention. So, if you have some extra pocket money :-), buy yourself a toy like that - you won't go unmissed.

Arabic fashion

Choose whatever you want..., but burkah (that golden one) seems strangest to me.

Sand is in the air

Today visibility in Dubai was rather poor, which reminded me about a little sand storm we had few days ago.

Ray of light...

...but not in Dubai. Today is 21 degrees and it's raining... I bet that tourists here didn't expect that weather to happen in Dubai (nor did I!).So it seems, you'll have to wait until Wednesday (according to weather forecast) to hit the beaches again. 

Nice little rain yesterday

It was lushing yesterday evening, and it was great! Strong and purifing rain, and I just love the smell of it when rain drops fall onto hot ground. Back in Ireland we were fed up of that constant rain, and now - I'm looking forward to it (which of course doesn't happen too often:-))

Drying rack

Necessity is the mother of invention, even if you just need to ...dry out your clothes:-)

It's gettin' hot in here

It's getting hotter and hotter in UAE and I was thinking about animals in Dubai Zoo. Couple months ago we went there to check it out. We thought that rich emirate like Dubai would take care of animals' well being, but the Zoo is small and old, with little shade for animals, and no greenery. Shame on you, Dubai!

Safety First

This was the view from my 9th floor apartment something like 1.5months ago. Now I don't see anything but the new building, not even the Sun. And for the lads in there obviously there's no need to use harness...

Dubai curiosities (2)

Yeap, that's a goat in the car's trunk. It seems that in Dubai you have to be always prepared to take a shoot...

Dubai curiosities

If you have eyes wide open, you may find many funny things around you.

Hi everybody, this is my first post.

Coloures of the Emirates. It was taken during the National Day.
