Blue hour is always good for photographers but sometimes it has more than usual beauty.
I took this photo from the Jumeirah wave breaker and we can see Dubai skyline

Burj Khalifa from Safa Park

Safa Park is one of my favourite parks in Dubai. I really enjoy to spent time over there.

Today, we have rain again here in Dubai, but not much. After rain it was nice to walk around in the park in the fresh smell of grass and chilli weather.
When I saw Burj Khalifa suddenly in this angle, I would like to capture it as I was and share it here.

to get the best view...

Today I had guest from outside Dubai. We went to Dubai Mall and we manage to find good spot to watch fountain show from top.
Some people wanted to be more closer. They hire the private boat get closer.
The show is free, but not the boat. :)

Ibn Batuta Mall is one of the interesting mall in Dubai. It is dedicated to Moroccan traveller from 14th century.

Mall is designed into 6 different courts; China Court, India Court, Persia Court, Egypt Court, Tunisia Court and Andalusia Court. Interior design of each court is based on the theme of the court.

His journey included trips to North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Africa and Eastern Europe in the West and to the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China. He is considered as one of great travellers of all  time.

Another picture of Burj Al Arab from Jumeirah Beach.

This beach has no access for public transport and only you can enter with your car from one of bus station. you need to be careful with your car, because there is no road and It is so easy to stuck in the sand. : )

Rainy Dubai

Rain in Dubai is not a common thing. Actually recent years we have more rain during winter time. I heart about some experiments on cloud seeding. It seems those experiments work.
