The Dubai Mall
Saturday January 7th, 2017
After only a few hours' sleep and a hearty breakfast at the "Holiday Inn Express Jumeirah", I decided to stretch my legs and wander around the city for the day.
I took heed of the locals advise and purchased a Dubai Metro daily Gold Class pass for 40 dirhams ($13.99 AUD), which ended up being the most cost effective and efficient way to get around Dubai. I was able to get around to the "Dubai Mall", then back to the hotel for a mid-afternoon beer at 45 dirhams ($16.71 AUD / $12.24 USD) thank you very much, before a fruitless & frustrating cab ride trying to find a bottleshop or somewhere to pruchase take away alcahol.
In the end I just said "fuck it" and parked up at the "Al Hattab Wood Fired & Smoked Restaurant" for some so-so chicken wings and a brilliant seafood pizza.
