Come December end and most of us relate it to cold weather, white snow and Santa Claus. But what if you live in a hot country of middle east where you have sand and sand everywhere, forget about cold or snow?
Worry not.
Dubai can do anything for its people. It has created a cold snowy atmosphere inside one of its shopping malls. The mall has developed it so realistically that you’ll forget going to a western country!

Snowy winter inside a shopping mall !

Cable cars, skiing slopes and play area on snow. What else do you need?

Location:- Mall of the Emirates, Dubai.

A dhow in Deira Creek, Dubai.

I had walked through a tunnel to reach this beautiful place. What makes the sight even nicer is the reflection of these dhows on the water of Dubai creek. The place has surrounding massive glass commercial and residential buildings as well.

O sky ! Confined here, I look up to you. And wish to touch you one day… growing taller than the tallest building.

Here are a few of them.
- Right from the immigration to all over the city, there were too few people last time. Either expats or Tourists, owing to the recession. Now there were a lot more.
- Only public transport earlier was the sparse but comfortable buses. Otherwise cabs were the only way to move around. Metro was being built. Now it is working on at least the more important routes. I was told the project is being delivered as planned.
- The only problem about Metro is that it does not start on Fridays before 2:00pm !

Baggage screened !

- The tallest tower, Burj Khalifa (earlier Burj-e-Dubai), is now completed.
- Free internet at Dubai International now. Don’t remember this from my last trip.
- On the other hand free internets from Malls have been discontinued. Don’t know why. And in hotels, they are way too expensive.
- You can see people from almost all countries of the world working here at various positions. Most people working in Malls and Restaurants are from either Indian Sub Continents or Filipinos. I may be wrong though.
- There were more tourists and people in general in the malls and on the roads. Also it was pleasing to see foreigners attired in more comfortable dresses, minis and the ubiquitous jeans.
- It is a misconception that Dubai hotels are expensive. Of course they do have the most expensive ones but there are areas where you may find inexpensive ones as well.
