It was fine.

It is a national holiday in Japan and the Golden week has just begun.

Today is a free day, so we attended the one day tour to Abu Dhabi where is the capital of UAE. There were so many tours from Dubai that it was hard for me to choose the one. Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque was the only must visit place and most of tours include it. I felt like visiting the palace hotel but after all we chose the one with Louvre.

It took about two hours from Dubai to Abu Dhabi by bus.

The dress code to enter the Mosque is really severe. I am glad to wear the one I bought the other day. The Mosque is really big. It's hard to get the whole picture.

We had lunch at a restaurant near the Ferrari Museum.

Then we wento Louvre where we had two hours. There were some Japanese related exhibitions.

The tour ended at the Emirates Mall where there is a ski-related amusement.

We took a train back to the hotel.

We had dinner near the lake.  The fullmoon was so beautiful.

I was so tired but woke up at 6 am as usual because I forgot to cancel the alarm.

We had a relaxing breakfast at the patio this morning.

Before lunch we walked around the hotel and visited the 5 supermarkets along the lake. I love visiting local supermarkets to see people's life.

At 3:30 we got together and headed for Desert Safari. I wore the costume I bought yesterday. It took nearly one hour and a half to get the desert by 4WD. It was  so different from my expectation, and it was like a jet coaster.
We tried camel riding, watching belly dances, watching fire performances, and eating BBQ. I also tried on the black costume .

It was a nice experience.

It was fine.

I started at 6 am this morning. We had a big breakfast.

Today is the day of city tour.

We left the hotel at 8 am and went to the beach to take pictures, then took a water taxi, visited spice souk and gold souk.

Then  we had lunch and visited the museum. We moved to the Mall. Some people went up to Burj Kharifa but since to change the date it costs AED80, we decided to go there on May 1 as scheduled. We walked around the world's biggest mall.  We watched the water fountain show at 6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30, 8:00pm, and projection mapping during having a big dinner at the restaurant on the water.

We came back to the hotel around 9 pm.
I got so tired and sleepy.
