My Favorite Place in Dubai

Since the weather is slowly deteriorating here, I thought it would be nice to fit a few activities into some of our few remaining weekends of good weather. This included taking Pete for a visit to my favorite place in Dubai. I went there around this time last year, so I knew it would be HOT, but it was well worth a visit. 

We started with a delicious lunch and refreshing mint lemonade,

then we went exploring around the courtyard (this is Pete, ducking to come out of the tiny bathroom door), 

after lunch we appreciated some of the artwork on display,

including this phone - covered in melted wax, 

then found a shady alleyway to escape from the sun (can you see the bump?), 

and we even saw a really old tree (planted in 1890)!
