Dubai is total crazy madness. What kind of planet have I landed on? This place is insane! I ordered an airport pick up from the hotel. I didn’t realize that in doing so, I would be treated like the sultan’s wife or something! Two people met me at the airport gates, another guy fast tracked me through the three hour immigration line, another guy helps me with my luggage, another then brings me to my car, where the driver (of an S class 350 Mercedes) is waiting for me with a hot towel and water. We arrive at the hotel and another guy takes my luggage, a woman offers me tea and another takes me up to my room and checks me in at my own desk! I must have met 20 people from the Jumeirah Hotel group tonight! It’s 2am Dubai time. What kind of crazy planet have I landed on? I am floored.
Whenever I visit a new city, I always try to come up with ONE word to describe the place. Istanbul is Magic, Cairo is Chaos, Mykonos is Bliss. Dubai is, by no doubt and in every bit of the word, all about Opulence.
I can't even speak.
Today I'm off to the Mall of the Emirates and to the Burj Arab. RIDICULOUS. More soon.
