Dubai (May 2016)

Dubai

Our flight to Dubai was none eventful, we have been to Dubai twice before so the main aim of this trip is just to relax and to get some heat into our bones before we get to Ireland.

On a previous trip to Dubai we had visited the Burj Khalifa’s, did a desert safari, went to the Aqua Venture Waterpark at Atlantis the Palm in Dubai.

We booked a day trip to Abu Dhabi as a friend Rob from the office, told us the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was the most stunning Mosque he had ever seen, he also mentioned Emirates Palace Hotel. We have to agree with Rob it is the most stunning Mosque we had ever seen. No photos can do it justice.

Ferrari world is in Abu Dubai, Formula Rossa the world’s fastest Roller Coaster is there and as Martin loves roller coasters we had to pay a visit.    Sad to say Martin was disappointed as it was closed for maintance the day we visited.  Otherwise we had a great time, he did get to ride another roller coaster called Flying Aces which he says was great.
