Yesterday was a day of contrasts. In the morning a couple of us went with a friend of mine to ride four wheelers in the desert. There was a bit of a sand storm. To be able to ride the four wheelers among the dunes we had to buy sunglasses because of the blowing, stinging sand.
That evening, as we gathered by the fountains by the tallest building in the world, we were astonished to see a display of lightening, followed a torrential downpour rain - something unusual in a desert!
As we walked thru the mall we witnessed an unusual sight indeed, water flooding out of some high end clothing boutiques. Clearly the Mall of the Emirates was not designed with this kind of rain in mind.
On the way back to our hotel, the driver had to navigate around large puddles, make that, small lakes of water on the highway, a new experience for him.
