Dubai Dancing Fountain
One of my favourite spots in Dubai is the Dancing fountain on a lake surrounded by the Dubai Mall, the Address hotel, the Souk and the Burj Khalifa. Every 30 minutes or so, a beautiful spectacle dazes a lot of tourists and locals alike.

Zakaždým, keď som bola v Dubaji, alebo som len prechádzala cez mesto, hľadala som v panoráme štíhlu, 828 metrov vysokú vežu zo skla, ocele a kovu - Burj Khalifa (Chalífovu vežu). Táto veža sa pýši niekoľkými zápismi v Guinesovej knihe rekordov a všetci vedia, že je jednoducho najvyššia na svete.

SAE: Dubaj v skratke
Nemôžem uveriť, že som naozaj ešte nepísala o Dubaji. Tiež mi trvalo, kým som sa tam vybrala na obhliadku, ale to mesto som si zamilovala. Je úplne iné ako Abu Dhabi. Na jednej strane živšie a historickejšie, na druhej strane aj západnejšie a megalomanskejšie. Tak tu máte fotografický prelet Dubajom, k detailom sa vrátim neskôr. Najviac sa mi páčila stará štvrť Bur Dubaj – dízlom páchnuce dymiace abry plávajúce po Dubai Creek, tradičný trh s natískajúcimi sa predavačmi, krivoľaké úzke uličky a staré múzeum pod holým nebom. Páči sa mi aj megalomanský Downtown, s obrovským obchodným centrom s akváriom, rôznymi výstavami (napr kostra dinosaura, alebo…
