Some Photos of Dubai

Got water? Replica boat outside museum.


History map of Arabia inside the museum.

Today I took the opportunity to play tourist and rode a guided tour bus through the city. It was so bad that I got off midway through and finished the rest on my own. I toured the Dubai museum located in the above pictured fort that was restored around 2000. One of the interesting tidbits that I picked up during my visit to the museum was that more than 90 percent of the water used in the city is obtained through desalinization.
