Let Dubai entertain me
This weekend we went to Dubai, staying at our friends Paul and Lisa's (not forgetting dog Clyde) place in the Springs. We popped over to Madinat Jumeirah for a curry and a pint in the evening. This is a lovely setting, sitting outside overlooking the Burj Al Arab. Unfortunately we had forgotten that the price of a pint was nearly double that of Abu Dhabi, I suppose it stopped us drinking too much.
On Friday we had a relaxing day window shopping in the new Mall of the Emirates with it's indoor real snow ski slope. We left the skiing for another day and exercised our legs walking around the largest mall outside of North America.

By early evening we were of the Nad Al Sheba racecourse - our real reason for being in Dubai - to see Robbie Williams perform in the largest concert Dubai has seen so far. 25,000 people squeezed into an area that seamed smaller then the Jamiroquai concert last week.
A good night was had even by the non Robbie fans that were dragged along

Unlike a concert in the UK you get close to the stage in the UAE. For the opening we were looking at the main stage (about 30m away) when Robbie pops into the air (amidst flames and smoke) just 10 m in front of us. We had not realised that there was a walkway comming pretty much right up to us!
