Our fitst stopover was Dubai after flying 15 hrs from Brissy. It was so good to finally get off the plane even though the flight went pretty fast.... The heat is crazy hot!! We landed at 4.30am and it was almost 40 degrees already, walking out of the airport it hits you like a massive heat wave! We were offered a taxi at the airport and didnt realize we were getting in a limo which cost us 200 in Dubai money when it should of been about 50! We got so ripped off...
There's barely any grass, it's so hot and sandy. For one month a year they have this 'Ramadam Koreen' thing which means no-one can do anything from 7am to 7pm everyday - no eating, drinking, smoking, holding hands ect.. All the shops and restaurants are closed and as tourists its so disrespectful to them if we don't follow it too. We were walking around in the heat and even if we pulled out a drink bottle we'd get dirty looks from people walking past - It was the weirdest most annoying thing!
We were hot an jetlaged so had an early night and the next day went to the palm tree islands, the houses are all like mini castles. We tried to go to the beach but because of the 'Ramadam Koreen' thing your not allowed and they wanted to charge about $70 Australian just to go to the beach!
It was nice to be leaving and be on our way to London....
