Dubai Jumeirah 2010

Its my first trip in dubai at this time of the year...not soo hot.
its also a very busy time with lots of events happening around dubai.
I have spent most of my time so far moving up and down Jumeirah beach road, one of longest, busy and rich.
Here you will see all the latest expensive cars, big villas nice restaurants and lots of shopping malls and of course the Jumeirah grand mosque
My favourite so far is the Italian themed with its unique blend of Tuscan and Venetian architecture that will continue to tell the extraordinary tales of exceptional beauty and creativity of the Renaissance period for many years to come. walked down charming cobbled streets, relax along a bright piazza, enjoy a romantic dinner and latest movie Mercato.
Mercato has everything all the other malls have.
There is the grand cinema, spinneys supermarket, virgin megastore, next, laura ashley, starbucks and costa.
and you can see Thoe Paphitis presence with La senza.
They also have a lively food court and yes they have my favourite cinnabon


All the famous milleners (yes hat makers )have set up shop at malls selling their ascot style hats.It seems like they are doing a good business.

The Dubai world cup - dubbed the richest horse race in the world is happening this weekend.
I am looking forward to see all the famous people including the Emirates royals.
The world cup is being hosted at the Meydan racecourse.The design of the grandstand is record breaking.

Elton John will perform on the 27th of march.
