Assalamualaikum.
We shall continue on our first day in Dubai. Started our day with breakfast at the hotel and like other kiasu Asian tourists, we were up and about in Dubai town as early as 8.30 (and that is actually considered very late) but damn that was the wrong decision.
We reached Dubai Marina Mall at about 8.45am but it was already scorching hot that we quickly tried to find some place with aircond. But of course, the mall opened at 10. Since, we can't do anything much except taking a few photos, we decided to go to Ibn Battuta Mall.
Ibn Battuta Mall is quite an old mall but it has very interesting and unique features. We took our time walking around. Had our lunch and did some shopping there. We walked and walked until we couldn't walk no more. My feet was killing me. I wanted to get a new pair of sandals but damn they were so expensive.
Then. we went to another mall which was Dubai Mall to see the main landmark over there, Burj Al Khalifa. We tried to figure the best place the catch a glimpse of the iconic building but it was so damn hot that we couldn't think. We went inside the mall, wandering around and ended up in Costa Cafe.
The initial reason why we were there was to get free wifi (hahaha) but luck was on our side. It was indeed the best spot to take photos of the Burj al Khalifa.
After we were done with the touristy stuff, we took taxi and went back to hotel. At this point, my back hurt so much. I forgot that I was 5 months pregnant at that time.
We had Pakistani dish for dinner at the comfort of our hotel room. Time to rest.
Till then.
