Dubai has been incredible. I’ve never seen anywhere quite like it. Nothing is done by halves. It’s all super modern, super glossy.It’s fast, it’s galmourous, It’s the ultimate 21st century lifestyle. Parts Dubai do have a sense of history and culture. The Bastakiya area where we have been staying, a real trendy artist’s haunt and the Ibn Batuta Mall, a strange mixture of the ultimate shopping experience combined with a homage to the histories and arts of China, India, Persia, Tunisia and Anadausis. The juxtaposition of flashy neon advertising against beautiful islamic paterns was amazing. The people we have met have been incredibly hospitable and generous. We leave here having had an incredible experience and off to Oman where I expect a great contrast. Goodbye Dubai.
