New Country, New Adventures - Part 1

Assalamu'alaikum Everyone!

It's been very diffuclt for me to post frequently these past few weeks.  We've done some new and interesting things.  I'll go in order as to what we've seen with some pictures from our adventures, too!

Jumeirah Masjid
A few weeks ago (not sure if I posted about it) we went to see Jumeirah Masjid.  It was beautiful.  I have to be honest, though, I didn't really see how it was nicer than the other masajid in Dubai.  They are all incredible in my opinion.  Here are some pictures. 

Front of the masjid.  I tried to move as far back as I could, but I wasn't able to get the entire masjid.


On our way home from dinner we were able to catch a shot of the masjid at night.
Burj Khalifa

One of the first buildings we went to see was the famous Burj Khalifah upon our arrival to Dubai.  The tallest building and man-made structure in the world.  It was called the Burj Dubai, but during the opening ceremony they changed the name to honor the President of the UAE.  Just about two weeks ago, we went to the top.  It was unbelievable how far you could see.  I've been to the top of the CN Tower (tallest building in the Western Hemisphere) and the Empire State.  I've never seen anything like this.  The building itself catches your eye!  We were lucky enough to watch a really nice water show from the top that takes place next to the Dubai Mall. 






More to come, Insha'Allah!

  3. Wow, great pics! It's funny though, it's obviously so much taller than the CN Tower, but your pics from the top don't look that high!
