Day in Dubai


This happened back at the end of September, but I am finally getting to it! Some of our good friends from college stopped by to visit us as they were on their way back to the States. It was great to see them, and we spent our day together in Dubai. We went to the mall there, and Tyler was thrilled to find a Star Wars guy waiting to greet us. The others were too scared to join Tyler:)

We went to an aquarium inside the mall, and saw all kinds of sharks, fish, and animals. The kids were mesmerized.





This sting ray was bigger than Owen!

Good friends - thanks for being our first visitors Jeremy and Gayatri!



He looks awfully cheerful for someone who is being eaten by an alligator...
Monkey see, monkey do
Hailey is not entirely sure this thing wont snap down on her at any moment...




We didn't spend much time in Dubai, since we got there later than we planned, but it was nice to catch a quick glimpse. I know we'll be back for more fun adventures!

From good times studying Arabic in Egypt, to hanging out in Abu Dhabi.
Come again soon!

  3. Kuwait has a similar aquarium. And beaches. It kinda makes me a bit homesick. Sigh.

    Can you believe it's been NINE years since al-Iskandariyya? Ya Salaam. Jeremy looks like he hasn't aged a day!
