United Arab Emirates – Final impression
Today, I’m showing you the last picture from my trip to the United Arab Emirates.
How did you like this month?
United Arab Emirates – Shopping
For some people it’s exciting, for other its’ boring; but Dubai is definitely a place for shopping and you’ll find there large shopping malls. You can even go skiing in a mall – isn’t it crazy!

Today, I’m showing you another “iconic” building from Dubai – Burj Khalifa.
Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building.
You can easily visit the observation deck in the Burj Khalifa and enjoy the view.

Today you can see a characteristic building of the “7 star hotel” i.e., Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai.
United Arab Emirates – Air Condition
I was in Dubai in June, i.e., in a very hot season.
So I was really happy to realise that air conditioners are almost everywhere; even bus stops have air con! 😉
United Arab Emirates – Souk
Souk is a name of an Arab market.
While being in the UAE, don’t forget to visit one of the souk, e.g., the Gold Souk in Dubai.
United Arab Emirates – Dubai City
Dubai is the best known place in the UAE.
People often say that “they go to Dubai” instead of “they go to the United Arab Emirates”, and treat Dubai as a separate country.

Dubai is a city-state, one of the seven emirates.
United Arab Emirates – Camel’s Milk & Dates
Before visiting the UAE, I didn’t know that people drink camel’s milk…
Now, the Emirates in my “food-memory” is a country of camel’s milk and dates.

The UAE has a number of wild animals, however the easiest to be seen are camel, oryx and gazelle.
What kind of animals have you met in the UAE?

Abu Dhabi exists since 1761, but the real development started about 200 years later, and many modern buildings/places are actually “a few years old”.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is large, but it’s not the largest mosque in the world.
United Arab Emirates – Mosque in Abu Dhabi
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is very unique (like everything in the Emirates?) and it’s worth visiting, at least to see all impressive/crazy decorations.
