An unexpected visit. — 1 year ago
We had never planned to visit Dubai but the opportunity came through my husband’s job. We had no idea what to expect but headed off from California to Dubai; it was a journey half-way around the world for us.
Dubai is fabulous! We visited there in March of 2001 and the weather was warm but not too warm. Everywhere we visited was luxurious and service is spectacular. Shopping at the souks is fun. I recommend you buy gold and rugs. 24 carat gold is favored but I found it too bright yellow for my taste. I had to ask to find some 18 carat gold necklaces and earrings that I liked better. I bought one necklace there for $400 and it was appraised at $1200 immediately upon my return to California. Dubai is friendly to westerners and very safe. This is one place you don’t worry about crime.
