Camel ride and shark visit

I went on a camel ride last weekend, as part of another trip into the desert including dinner in a fake bedouin camp, belly dancing, and shisha. The riding position is not that bad - you sit quite high up, so you feel like a little king; but be careful to come out of your daydreams the moment this animal gets on his knees to let you down, that's quite rocky and you really need to hold on...

I also went to Dubai Mall; mainly because of its sea water aquarium, which is, of course, the world's largest one with 10 million litres! It's inhabited by hundreds of fish, from sting rays to more than a dozen sharks. You walk through an underwater tunnel which enables you to see these animals close up. The aquarium opened Sept 08.
