Weekend in Dubai

At the end of November, we took a week off work and spent 3 nights in Dubai. We stayed at The Atlantis which is at the end of the palm. The view from our balcony



Dubai was a nice change from Baku, it made us realise how challenging Baku can be ... when you are living there things just become the norm. We were especially surprised by the quantity & quality of the food - there were supermarkets with more than a few tins of vegetables !

The weather was also warm, the last few weeks in Baku the weather has turned much cooler and it will be like this until the end of March when the good weather starts again.

The hotel we stayed in had a huge aquarium in the centre of the hotel, you could stay in a room with a wall looking into the aquarium for 29,000 dirhams (£5,000) per night !




Still cheaper than the rooms in this hotel !
