riko666 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 a virgin to the Dubai/Arab experience I see ;) ...I've lived in Saudi Arabia for 15 years, it's not too dissimilar...though I hate Dubai as it's lost all means of tradition and traditional values in the name of Commercialism.

rob_bower Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Great piccies Geo,The memories!!!! dubai and abu dhabi ;) i think were going back out later in the year (the misus mum and step dad live out there).The Flat bit that sticks out on the back of the burj is a restraunt you get some grat view form there!! Its where i took this from!!did you go for a drive on the palms?? i found it so underwelming it only looks god from the air when your actualy on it it feels the same as everwhere else!!Is the last piccie of the fountain outside the emirates palace hotel?? looks like it but if it is those buildings have gone up speedy fast in the back ground.I cant wait to go back!!The worst bit about it Geo although Dubai generates so much money from oil at the mo the reason theyre making it such a tourist destination is because there oil is running out fast but abu dhabi has go so much more oil thay dubai and from visiting both you would never belive it!!

Guest Enzo Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 did you go for a drive on the palms?? Is the last piccie of the fountain outside the emirates palace hotel??yea i drove and sailed around it, just stayed up from it in the ritz carltonwent out for dinner every night to places like the emireates towers, the budda bar grosnover, gary rhodes resteraunt the mezzanine in the same building and the le vendome at he emirates palace where i took that pic of the springsyea i know all about the oil situation but what gets me is all the underpayed workers, bad working conditions and the hi rent prices that are spiraling out of controlWhat ? No starbo pics? ;) My mum and dad have been a few times now, they love the place.Never appealed to me though,think because theres sooo much money there you would always be looked down on.when you go out for a drink or meal ect. It like that Geo?i saw one blue ep82 gt turbo when i was in dubai never saw any in sa,its not like that by the way, its just like goin anywhere else on holiday, i saw jade goodie on one of the beaches ffs squeelling her head of to her man lolfelt like running up and chuckin some sand in her face lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
