Out and about in the Malls

Candy tree at the Dubai Mall. 


They make the best caramel corn on the premises. It comes in different varieties such as pecan, cashew, almond, or plain caramel corn that is served warm. The last time I was there, a large family was buying out the store, literally. We waited fifteen minutes while the staff scooped up the corn into bucket after bucket.  We calculated they spent over a thousand dollars on caramel corn. 


The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is very modern. It celebrated its 40th birthday this year. It has ultra-modern buildings, such as the Burg Khalifa, and excellent shopping.  


The Aquarium inside the Dubai Mall. is a must see.  


Shark swimming overhead in the tunnel. 
The Emirate women wear abayas when they are out of the house.  This is a shop selling different fashions. I wear an abaya to school. 



Boy toys parked in front of the Dubai Mall. The bottom of the Burg Khalifa sits in the background.



Gold, gold, gold. It's expensive here too. 

Living room display. 

Portrait shop. 

Incense burners. You'll smell incense burning in the stores and malls.

Long gowns. 

Head scarves. Many of the women wear a different scarf everyday.



Tailor shop making men's robes.

I took this picture because the little boys look precious in their robes.
