Dubai Shamal

We drove up to Dubai yesterday to see what we could see (as we seem to do on a regular basis)… and really we couldn’t see much at all! A Shamal had blown in over the country and it was pretty yuck! When you combine wind, dust/sand, and cold there really isn’t much else to do apart from head for Mall of the Emirates and stay inside! Being the time of the Dubai Shopping Festival there were lots of sales to look at and by mid-afternoon it was very busy (seemed most people were heading inside as well). We did go to see if Global Village (big international shopping village open over the winter months in Dubailand) was open on the way home but it had been closed due to the high winds and dust.
