July in Dubai

Well Dan has made it Dubai and boy is it hot... But understand it is just as hot in Houston.

Started clearing up, for a week there where sandstorms and the air was full of dust. It has since cleared up a little but they say that it will be this way until October.

Dan and I went on a desert safari yesterday. It was kind of scary going over the sand, seemed like we were going to roll over and that we were surfing the sand. I would recomend this trip to any first time visitor to Dubai as you certainly get that Arabic feeling.
Here are some pictures from our day.

yes that is me with Dan it is hard to tell when I'm all in black. Had to try on the trational garb and Dan looks pretty neat don't you think?

Here are some pictures of Atlantis. It is located on the big Palm at Jumeria..
Would love to stay here for a weekend.. It is truly amazing to see.

Some pictures of a hotel we went to the other night for dinner at a seafood place that was way out on the water. You had to walk down a long pier to get to it.

Here is the Burg Alaram.  The only 7 star hotel.  Dan took this picture at nite.  Love the way it lights up......

Look at all this gold.. this was taken down in Diera where all of the gold souks are... some of the pieces are so big I couldn't imagine wearing them and you know I'm a jewelery person

Well hope you enjoyed our pictures and sorry it has taken so long to update my blog.. Will try and do better.
Dan returns in October so should have more adventures and oportunities to take pictures because the weather should be cooler.
