Today was my second day in Dubai. The jet lag has caught up with me and had a hard time getting up this am. But when I finally did Tess and I drove out of town to see the sand dunes. They are very red in color and its was extremely hot. You can actually just drive off the side of the road and go four wheel driving over the sand dunes. We were going to do it until we got there and saw a truck hung up on one of the dunes and decided not to. I guess what they do is let some air out of their tires to allow the tires to grab easier to the loose sand. The dunes were huge and endless. It was the heat that was unbelievable. They offer desert safaris where they take you out on a 4x4 over the dunes. Then you have camel rides and dinner in camps set up for such an event. Evening entertainment is included in Such a package. I didn't do it and regret it. Should have!
We went out to the dunes to see camels and didn't see any. Well we saw one on other side of a divided highway but after getting turned around and coming back it had disappeared
Tess and I went for lunch and then picked the kids up from school. We drove back to the house and went for a nice refreshing swim. After it cooled Down a tad we went back to the Madinat Jumeirah city had dinner by the waterfront. It was now 8pm and at 33 degrees we were able to sit outside and shopped in the stores for a few souvenirs. We had an early night. Tomorrow off to AFRICA
