Today was our second day of our hop on hop off bus tour in Dubai.
Our guide today said the Dubai Mall took up 12 million square meters, not one million. Which ever is correct it is a lot of space.
Today we realized how many, many buildings were under construction. Do you think they are all skyscrapers? You can bet your life on that one.
We stopped by the Egyptian Souk. My was it beautiful. I did not take many pictures today, but look at this stairway.
