Sand, Snow and Stylish Hotels

About 2 weeks ago we had a whirlwind visit from A&C. Despite it only being a weekend's trip we managed to squash in a Desert Safari; lunch beside the ski slopes and drinks at the famous Burj al Arab.


The required tourist stop at the store that sells everything from kitch mosque clocks to sumuri wartior armour to toilet paper:
