Dubai in a nutshell

This is going to be quick since my flight to Entebbe is boarding shortly and getting wi-fi throughout Dubai wasn't as easy as I thought. The first night I came when the metro was already closing so I didn't do much besides sleep (including 4 hours in the middle with my eyes open due to the jet lag). On saturday the 22nd I visited the Burj Al Khalifa building (tallest in the world) including the view from the 124th floor. I walked in Jumeirah road for about 2 hours on a 41 degree celsius heat to see the Burj Al Arab hotel and the pictures were really nice. Dubai reminds me a lot of Las Vegas in regards to the luxury in some places (Dubai mall has an ice rink, fountain like the one at the Bellagio, and an aquarium similar to the one in Atlanta). The end of the day was great with a train ride to Dubai marina by reccomendation of my Indian host at the hotel where I ate a traditional iranian chicken with an awesome sweet dressing on the rice. I woke up at 5:30AM to catch the flight and I am just 35 minutes away from boarding to Entebbe. I can't wait to see Uganda for the first time.
