Road Trip to Dubai

Our intentions were to take a trip to Al Ain to get a second look at our apartments and the area.  We took a cab to the airport to rent a car for this excursion.  It is difficult to rent a car when your residence visa is not yet available and you are not on a tourist visa.  Finally, it took a village, but we got a car! Off we went in what we thought was the right direction. The rental company only had maps for Abu Dhabi and Dubai.  Well, somehow we ended up in Dubai.  We spent several hours at the Dubai Mall.  We walked around and gasped at the variety of stores, the indoor ice rink, the two waterfalls and the aquarium.  Because Ramadan doesn't end until Saturday the food court and restaurants were closed.  We left after snapping several pictures of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
