Snacking in Dubai

March 6, 2014January 27, 2017 / Rod / Leave a comment

In attempts to be frugal, we made sure to stock up on food and snacks we could enjoy in our room.  This was by far our favorite. I present to you the Lucky Me! Supreme Special Beef! In a Wet Cup.

This is the interior of the Skyview Bar. To me, it reminded me of the 60's, and I couldn't help but feel a bit like Don Draper from Mad Men while we were here.

An army of nutcrackers awaited us inside the lobby of the Burj Al Arab. Luckily, they were only a display, or else nuts everywhere would have fled before their might.

This is an unobstructed view of the coast of Dubai as seen from the Skyview Lounge. I enjoyed this view even more than the view from the Burj Khalifa, since we were out past the coastline.
