Flamingo Tour: Saw lots of flamingos just outside the city, Dubai has native flamingos, I didn’t know that. Flamingos are funny creatures. We also saw some huuuuuge palace, I forget its name, I’ll look it up when I edit this. But it was really rather huge, so much land, just outside the city, like a stately home but with more grand walling.

I then took the tour bus to the end of palm island and took a tour around the crescent, which has currently got 4 5* hotels and is making another 38!! Oh Dubia.

Then I went to see the dancing fountains again on the way back (for the third time), each time it gets better! This time the song was an Arabian version of the song “Hero” by Enrique Inglesias (blast from the past!). I love the fountains, the fact that it’s a different song each time really makes it!

Now I’m back at the hostel for an early night 🙂

Oh yeah facts: 

Where palm island is built the water was only 10m deep! Even less crazy!… Still rediculous though.

Some eels have 2 mouths! One inside their throat that ventures out, kinda like Alien! 

For lots of species of big fish, they all start of as female and then the biggest becomes male when the current male dies.

Dubia mall has an aquarium (even bigger than the one that I saw the other day, but less species of fish), an underwater zoo (I’m not entirely sure how an underwater zoo differs from an aquarium, but it has both!) and an Olympic ice skating ring! There is also a bar near the beaches called “The chill out room” or something to that effect, and everything in it is made of ice, even the chairs and classes and things… In the middle of the desert! Dubia.

There is even a call to prayer sounded around the Dubia mall and in the bird sanctuary that I was in.
