Dubai... Silicon oasis

We landed in Abu Dhabi after a 16hr flight. We had 1.5 days in the UAE before moving onto London. We arrived at the Premier Inn Silicon Oasis in Dubai jet lagged and exhausted. The accommodation was nice but the location was rubbish as it took almost 20-30 min to get anywhere. We had plans in Dubai to go to the famous water park, beach, indoor snow field and have dinner in the sand dunes. We decided to can all these plans and settle for a relaxing day and instead went to the Dubai mall to see the world\'s tallest building and the Dubai fountains.
The mall was amazing as there was every shop you could imagine complete with an aquarium, theme park and skating rink. Outside the mall lay the Dubai fountains with the back drop of the world\'s tallest building. The fountains moved and lit up in sequence to various musical pieces and was similar to watching some form of water ballet. We were amazed by the fountains and rated it well above Hong Kong\'s sky line light show.
We now head to London for 4 days of fun during the new year.
