A short stay in Dubai...

DH and I left on our long flight to Dubai on Saturday night. We had decided to book accomodation there rather than catch the connecting flight to Dublin straightaway. 
The travel agent chose a hotel in the Financial Centre area, the Dusit Thani. We’d seen glimpses of this building whilst watching a documentary on skyscrapers shown on some Foxtel channel. This photo is an image from the internet. 


It was a very nice hotel with extremely attentive staff! 



The views from our room on the 32 nd floor were great too...there was often a haze in the distance which we wondered whether it was a heat haze as the temperature was mostly around 42 C...yikes! 






We arrived at 4.30 am and had wisely booked our hotel so that Saturday night was booked even though we weren’t physically there. This meant that when we arrived at reception at 5 am, we could go straight to our rooms, shower and rest, before going to breakfast in the hotel restaurant...so delightful. 
In my next post I’ll share some of the experiences we had over the 2 days we spent there before catching a flight to Dublin.
