Dubai

Dubai is one of the most immaculate cities I have ever seen. There are so many beautiful and stylized buildings. Even the high-way overpasses are beautifully painted and decorated. The Burj Dubai, now renamed the Burj Khalifa is an incredible testament to what man can accomplish. The building is so tall that it is not possible to fit the whole thing into my camera's frame. It is nearly 1km tall. Though Dubai is full of tall buildings, the are all dwarfed by the burj. I've tried to include a few pics of the building, but it is impossible to communicate the feeling one gets standing beside a collosus like this. This is the tallest structure ever built by man. Tower of Babble: eat your heart out.
















After lunch, Vicky and I wandered Dubai for a bit. I thought this mosque was particularly pretty.


I copied and pasted this photo from wikipedia since they clearly had a camera capable of wider angles than mine.


Hi everyone I thought I'd write an update of where V and I are. We are presently in Hurghada and taking the day to relax and visit the internet. It's bloody slow here... I've got soooo many pictures. I will try to post them in the same order as we visited the sights.

Seeing as the first place we stopped in was Dubai, I'll start with some pics from there.

We are having an unimmaginably great time here. I hope you are all well.

Dan
