Robyn had secured a rental and together with her Xtrail, and Paul driving, we navigated the streets of Dubai and got to see the Dubai Mall with its aquarium and famous shops. Needless to say no shopping was done by the SA crew with our week currency. They got to see the Buri Khalifa which is the highest building in the world. We then proceeded to another shopping center which was slightly more affordable and let the crew loose for a little shopping to buy gifts for family back home. We made them lunch at the Villa and suggested that the rested to get over a bit of jet lag before. They had a surprise waiting - a desert safari. Paul and I were not booked on this as we were going to have dinner with our daughter and her boyfriend Mark. This was to be the only time we had together and it was priceless.
The dessert safari consisted of riding, literally surfing sand dunes in 4X4, then getting to ride on camels and having a traditional meal, complete with belly dancers and henna tattoos etc.
