When you hear about Dubai, you always here about the famous "ski slope" inside of a mall. The Mall of the Emirates is a beautiful mall and it indeed has a full functioning slope indoors. Amazing...just amazing. When it was 110 degrees in August it just didn't seem possible. Now, it's kinda nice because it gives us a sense of "winter" here and puts us in the holiday spirit.
The malls here, even though Muslims don't celebrate Christmas, are decked out...WAY DECKED OUT with beautiful windows just like downtown Chicago. They do this for the large population of ex patriots in Dubai. The last picture is the huge selection of trees, ornaments, tinsel, etc. available at one of the "hypermarket" stores in Dubai. We will be headed there next week to purchase a tiny tree for our apartment and some festive decorations. Tis' the season...
even though it is still a warm 85 degrees outside.
