We took the children along to here expecting a museum about schools and whilst they were reasonably entertained we relly loved looking at the architecture of this really old school. The carving and panels adorning the simple building are quite lovely and to me shout typical middle eastern archirtecture from the time before Dubai just wanted to outdo other rich neighbours.

My daughter and I actually shopped til we dropped here it was AMAZING, and we earned air miles (for flying back to shop here more, presumably is what they hope we'll do, and tbh it seems quitle likely!) on all our purchases. Great place must-see when you go to Dubai next.

MAD! But so much fun! Indoor snowboarding at its very best, although the cold was a bit of a shock to my overheated/mildly sunburnt body. Great runs and the freestyle area was pretty sweet!

My wife and I went hee to learn more about the history of Dubai and it was great. Some really interesting artefacts and a really lovely building, and so nice to know a bit more about the place than just seeing all the gold and bling of the modern tourist-focused experience.
