One of the world’s most modern cities has sprung up in the middle of the desert. The world’s tallest building, the world’s biggest mall and a string of manmade islands sit alongside a traditional culture and cuisine that go back centuries.
It’s a baffling yet intriguing place.
Here’s my trip as recorded via Instagram.
Enjoying the view of the Burj Khalifa from The Address Dowtown.

A beach that doesn’t really exist, overlooking a city that wasn’t there 42 years ago #strangebuttrue
Checking out the robot jocket factory #camels
Hanging with the camels at the camel farm
Camels seeking shade from the desert heat…
Sand, sand and more sand! Dune bashing in 4WDs.

Sundowners…
All for me… Gonna get huge!
