My past few posts have included trips I've taken to other countries around the Middle East, but I surely haven't forgotten about my host country! Here are some of the highlights of my time thus far in the UAE:
 |
| Dhow dinner cruise along Abu Dhabi corniche |
 |
| Local soccer game with some family friends |
 |
| Downtown Dubai along the Souk al Bahar (the Ocean Market) A small marina filled with restaurants and hotels that face the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain |
 |
| Dubai achitecture |
 |
| Entrance to the Ocean Souk |
 |
| The Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi, of course it houses one of the largest woven Persian carpets in the world. And it probably holds a few other world records |
 |
| View from the top of the Burj |
 |
| Birds eye view of the dormant, but still majestic Dubai Fountain. Yup, it's the largest fountain in the world |
 |
| Some more shots of the Grand Mosque, there are some of its many....many....many archways. |
 |
| Embracing the culture! Abayas are administered before entering the mosque to ensure modesty and cultural respect. |
 |
| Some of the intricate work inside of the mosque |
 |
| The 99 different names for Allah in the Islamic faith |
