Today we headed out on our own, rode the metro and visited two malls. The UAE celebrates its 43rd anniversary of its founding so there are flags and posters all over noting the celebration. The UAE contains 7 emirates so the leader of each is shown below.
First stop was the Mall of the Emirates:
The ski slope and snow park from the outside (above) and inside (below).
The mall is just a giant version of most malls you've ever experienced - although you see some different sights when people watching.
This part of the mall tries to resemble a trains station.
We then took the metro to Dubai Mall, billed as the world's largest. First metro system with two classes of tickets with separate compartments. Can't tell you the difference between regular and first class as we traveled with the common people,
Includes a giant aquarium and underwater zoo, with the world's largest aquarium window according to the chamber of commerce hype.
There was a very cool fountain show outside. Quite spectacular and set to music, first time a fountain show reminded me of a fireworks show.
The water fountains are in the square in front of the world's tallest building.
