Just outside the hotel we stayed at in DoBuy is a small plaza with a club and a souk and houses around it. It gets really hot there because, as you can see, the plaza and buildings are all made of light coloured stone and concrete. It is hard to find much shade, but if you are a small bear there is a spot that is just the right size. Of course, if the statue suddenly showed signs of life, I would be out of there like a shot! You can see how close we were to the Burj Khalifa. From the door of the hotel Dad could just get it into the full frame of our big camera and Mum could just not fit it into the frame of her iPhone. It is a huge, spectacular, beautiful building. You can see it from kilometers around. And we were only 10 minutes stroll away from it. By the way, the hotel is the Al Manzil and it is far and away the best hotel that the Oldies have ever stayed in, anywhere. It's my recommendation if you are ever looking for accommodation in Dubai.
