5-star hotels, malls, man-made islands, and a 7-star hotel. That’s Dubai in a nutshell. After our 12 hour flight from New York to Dubai, we got to spend a night in the city, courtesy of Emirates. We were each provided with a nice hotel room, dinner, light refreshment, and breakfast for our long layover there. We took a nice bus tour of the city at night, and got to see the plethora of 5-star hotels, the tallest tower in the world, the largest hotel in the world, the Arabian Sea, as well as the only 7-star hotel in the world. After that, we stayed up watching music videos in Arabic. I’m really excited that we all got a little taste of Dubai.
