After 2 long months we finally met up with Tom in Dubai. Minimal tears but lots of chatter later we checked into the Park Hyatt to indulge ourselves on the breakfast buffet and al la carte offerings. We made it to the Dubai Mall by 10am (apparently the largest mall in the world) to do some diamond and watch shopping - just kidding although I did see a stunning radiant cut Bulgari solitaire valued at $750,000 (start saving Doug).
We purchased Tom some sunglasses (hot pink, don't ask) and were on our way back the hotel for our desert tour.
Our desert tour started with an hour drive out of Dubai, saw a falcon show and then spent an hour 4 wheel driving through the sand dunes. After sunset we arrived at a massive site filled with tables and stalls. We took our seats and had some of the yummy Arabian buffet on offer. Eventually the belly dancing show started and was incredible, the dancer was balancing swords on her head and twirling in front of the crowd. We piled back into the car where I proceeded to sleep the whole way home.

The next morning (once again after a fantastic breakfast) we went up the top of the Burj Khalifa which is the tallest building in the world. We didn't have much time afterwards so raced home and to the airport where Tom managed to eat through the business class lounge. We arrived in Nairobi a few hours later and had a quick dinner and an early night before our morning flight.
