| 酒店大堂，內有人工瀑布。 |
I was very happy and excited during the two days at Dubai. My hotel Raffles Dubai Hotel was so comfortable. Another thing that impressed me was that it was very courteous and understanding. Although I arrived at seven in the morning, too early to check in, I was kindly offered my room and meticulously served. If I wanted anything I just made known my request. Even booking tickets for sight-seeing could be arranged.
要特別一提是杜拜著名的最高樓
『哈里發塔』Burj Khalifa, 160層樓。在酒店訂只需ADE100，但現場訂除了未必有之外，收費是ADE400。
The astounding 160-storeyed Burj Khalifa must not be missed.
Booking from the hotel cost only ADE100. If you go to the tower and then buy the ticket there you will spend ADE400.
在杜拜的兩天很開心和刺激，酒店亦非常舒適，是Raffles Dubai Hotel。這酒店值得一讚，雖然到逹杜拜時間很早，只是當地早上時間7:00，但酒店很體貼地給予房間，還殷勤地安排專人助理服務，如需要任何東西，都可直接安排，包括訂購任何觀光門票。Booking from the hotel cost only ADE100. If you go to the tower and then buy the ticket there you will spend ADE400.

| 房間內的浴室非常寬趟，內裡有三部份，其中包括蒸汽房。而浴室對面是另一個衣帽間和安放保險箱。

| 沙滑雪的車隊 Sand skiing team |
 |
| 正在玩沙滑雪(Sand skiing)，不是一件易事，很剌激的運動，在車裡的人都跟着車的擺動而全身也做運動。 Sand skiing is not an easy game; it is exciting and vigorous. Inside the team members are doing exercise as the cars move |

| 黃昏時分，向另一個沙漠上的自助晚餐會進發。

| 沙漠之旅 Desert tour |
After booking the tour, they picked me up at the hotel directly. It was better to do the booking in the tourism board for it cost much less.
I joined the tour to Desert Safari at 3:00pm. It included dune bashing, sand skiing, camel riding, appreciating sunset, and enjoying Arabic tea, coffee and mineral water, BBQ dinner, Shisha, Henna, Tanura show, belly dancing..... Pickup and drop off services were also provided. The whole package cost $320/6 hours.

| 我能夠安心托起兀鷹，是因為牠先被蓋上眼罩，否則很危險。 另一方面亦有負責人在旁看管，以防意外。 I can confidently hold the falcon for its eyes are covered with eyeshade first, otherwise it can be dangerous. Besides, there are some responsible persons keeping watch to guard against accidents. |

| 夕陽下的沙漠，很美！

後面的駱駝早在年輕時試過了，故此今次想試小型爬沙車。
The camels at the back I rode before when I was young. This time I would like to try riding such a small sand-climbing bike |

| Henna是這裡的特色，不是紋身，遲些日子會自動褪色。
Henna is a special feature here. It is not tattoo and will fade off in time
