Dubai
We are off!
Dubai is referred to as the Vegas of the Gulf, and I agree. It is too big, hot, and artificial for me.
We had a blast at the waterpark. It was nice to recharge with some American foods and amenities. One thing I loved about the city is what a melting pot of cultures were there. 80+% of the residents in Dubai are expats, so we saw people and foods from India, Pakistan, Asia, Africa, UK, etc.
