The Dubai Mall

Yesterday we visited one of the largest Malls in the world....The Dubai Mall. As always, out here, it just has to be the biggest or break some sort of world record . . . though that half of the space is still empty....lotz of shops have still not opened... It is huge though and you really do need a map to navigate your way around...we saw the Dubai Mall Aquarium! It is amazing.....especilly the
discovery center is beautiful ...we were lost in the rainforest...well i had only read about rain forest..but it was breathtaking... the indoor aquarium has a viewing tunnel through the middle,...It has like around 80 species or marine life including sharks, stingray, beautiful and ugly fish!...assad wut say about piranha...!!! If you just want to see the aquarium you pay 25aed per adult or 50aed if you want to visit the Discovery Centre upstairs as well. However, though first impressions of the Discovery Centre is pretty good, some nice fish in large aquariums with good educational guides, further round you come to extremely small enclosures withotters, penguins and seals....Initially, Celmira was actually quite scared - some of the fish are quite big and I suppose for a small person, this could be quite scary.... But thn celi really started enjoying them...At first we walked around it checking it out from the outside and there were so many people standing outside watching. It is not complete, but they have done a very good job of opening a good varied selection of stores and food outlets...like Taco Bell...whr we had nacho swith dip and soft chicken tacos...it was worth the money .... The indoor ice rink is good even if you just want to stop and watch the people skating and falling on their way....overall.... we
had a good weekend.. looking forward to plan next one...he he
