Dubai: Day Two

This morning, we started out going back to Jumeirah Mosque, which we weren't able to get into for a tour yesterday. They gave my mom and I headscarves to wear inside. Please note that they gave us scarves that coordinated with our respective outfits:




I guess even in the mosque, you still have to look fashionable It is Dubai, after all.

Inside the mosque:





The next stop was the gold and spice souqs. I think we were expecting the gold souq to be more like a traditional market, but it was rows and rows of jewelry stores. I didn't take pictures there, but I did get a very nice graduation present there :)

The spice souq was a little more interesting:




After that, Mom and I did a little more shopping, and on the way back to the hotel we passed the Burj Dubai, which will be the world's tallest building when it's completed:




We just got back from a late dinner, and now I'm going to bed until 4 am, when I'm going to wake up to watch the Pennsylvania results come in on CNN. Good night!
