We're a long way from home, welcome to the pleasure dome (Frankie Goes To Hollywood)

Wie geht's?


Another trip down the nostalgia path for this post, and a visit to one of my happy places: The Dubai Mall.

Much of life for Jacky and me in the Middle East, and many of our ex-pat friends, revolved around trips to malls. 

While living in Al Ain, we often travelled the hour and a bit north to Dubai to either the BurJuman Centre, the Mall Of the Emirates, or best of all - The Dubai Mall.

It's an amazing place: air conditioned comfort from the heat; a huge variety of eateries and cafes; great shopping - Virgin Megastore and Book World By Kinokuniya; art installations like the water feature above; the huge shark tank; easy parking (once you navigated the roads and knew where to turn off it was a breeze - up until that time it was divorce time for many couples); hundreds of fashion and shoe shops for Jacky; and more. Yes, much more!

I could seriously live in the Dubai Mall: foodmarket on the bottom floor; music; books; bedding departments; rest rooms. What else do you need?







Love and peace - Wozza
