Today I went on a Dubai City tour. I've been hoping to get a closer look at the Dubai culture while I'm here and this seemed the perfect way to explore the contrasts the city holds between the past and the present. The tour began at the Jumeirah mosque and travelled along the beach which showed such an intense urban side to the city. It was so beautiful and it was amazing to think that all these buildings were man made and could still be beautiful. We then visited the famous Burj Al Arab hotel which was definitely somewhere a would love to stay. Next we went to the Nad Al Sheeba camel and horse tracks where we saw camels training. Later we went to the Dubai Museum before we boarded a water ferry or Abra and went to the spice and gold souks or markets. This was a great tour and i loved seeing the different aspects of the vast and varied city of Dubai.
