More Sights . . .

Another day of Dubai sightseeing. Started out with a quick visit at the Mall of the Emirates for some shopping and viewing of the famous Ski Dubai indoor ski slope (below). Above is a scale model of the future Dubai Creek Tower which, when completed later this decade, will boast a height of roughly 1400 meters, over 500 meters taller than the Burj Khalifa. They have already started the foundation of this structure which is estimated to cost $3.67B. It is debatable whether it will be classified as the world’s tallest “building” as it will not be free-standing. However, it will become the world’s tallest manmade structure. Onward to the Miracle Garden. Gautier is holding a falcon, national bird of the UAE. Falconry is a national passtime of the local royalty.
