United Arab Emirates

Dubai - 2015

We had a fantastic 57-day trip in July-August 2015.
Melbourne - Dubai – Paris – Norway – Spitsbergen – East Greenland – Iceland – Seine River Cruise – Dubai - Melbourne

To make the trip to Europe easier for us young 70-year olds, we stopped over in Dubai for 2 nights, before we flew to Paris
(and on the way home from Paris).

Views from the balcony of our hotel, the Radisson at Deira Creek.


There is a Dubai metro station near our hotel.
We caught the ultra-modern, clean train to the Mall of the Emirates












We were in Dubai at the time of Ramadan.



While the Mall of the Emirates is not the largest shopping mall in Dubai, it has an indoor ski-field.





















We also had a  2-night stop-over on the way home.




Fresh honey from the honeycomb at breakfast at our hotel, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Deira Creek. 







A metro station near the rear of the hotel.




















And so home to Melbourne, a 12½ hour flight.

The end of a fantastic 57-day holiday.
