Today's location ... Madiant jamerirah.
It is on the coast right beside the giant sail hotel. This "complex" is a mall, resto complex, hotel, arena, theatre, conference area, and flats, all surround by a man made creek with boats that ferry the hotel guest back and forth. It designed as an old school fort, and mall is small twisty hall ways and mostly little "craft" "jewelry" and "carpet" shops with a Tommy Bahamas, cinnabon and starbucks thrown in for good measure.
Along the canal are lots of licensed restros. Clearly it is a lively night place, as I was leaving by 6:30PM lots of people were arriving. I spent most of my time walking around outside the complex. my introduction to the heat !!!! big time.
So before i left i stopped and had a drink watching the sun set. I have to say 30+ heat went well with the pimms no 1 cup!!
Things i noticed today...
1) I think people here have big fingers!! in every jewelry store window all the rings, beyond displaying serious bling, the sizes are huge.
2) single girl walking around = insta photographer for all the couples travelling ..... getting good at the souvenir shot!!
