Our time in Dubai was very limited. We had about a 24 hour layover on the way home from the Maldives, so we checked out of the airport for the afternoon and night to see a little of the city. Our hotel was in Bur Dubai, the historic district, but we thought we'd go see some of the more touted tourist attractions in the city, like the indoor ski slopes at the Mall of the Emirates and the Burj Al Arab hotel. So we headed over to that part of the city by taxi, passing the Burj Dubai (tallest building in the world) on the way, and saw what we could. (Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us inside the Burj Al Arab - I guess next time we'll just have to stay there, ha!)

We headed back to Bur Dubai for dinner, which we had at a nice little restaurant overlooking the river, and turned in early for our early morning flight back to the States. It was a very quick trip, just enough to sate the appetite. We'll definitely have to make a return trip in the future!
