Day 14 - Last day in Dubai

It's was our last full day in Dubai today, we fly home tomorrow morning. In keeping with our routine we got up around 10am and gorged ourselves on the massive breakfast buffet supplied by the hotel.

We spent at least 4 hours down by the pool you could get used to this heat. And today they even supplied some ice cold towel to cool use down! Perfect.

We decided to head to the Dubai Outlet Mall in the afternoon. It's not connected to the metro so we had to take a taxi. They built this mall out in DubaiLand, an area which was meant to be home to numerous theme parks, alas nothing has been build. They do still have a gate for Universal World, but that's about it. It's all desert.

We didn't stay to long at the outlet mall as we just weren't in the shopping mood, so we jumped into a taxi and headed to the Dubai Mall (as you do).  Being the worlds largest mall it's more like a city. There is just so much to do there. We adore it.

If you ever make it to Dubai, The Dubai Mall is a must see. It will take you hours to visit and experience it all. We've been back to it 6 or 7 times and we still haven't done it all. It's designed like a high street with a mixture of department stores, shops and restaurants along the same strip. It's also a theme park with an ice rink, aquarium and that famous dancing fountain which has a show every 30 mins from 6pm until 11pm. It is currently the  worlds largest choreographed fountain system!

After some supply shopping for the journey home in Waitrose we headed back to the hotel to pack and try to sleep. Our flight is at 7am so we aim to be out of the hotel by 5am.
