We arrived in Dubai just after 6am as the sun was coming up.

Flying into Dubai just after sunrise

We checked back into the Jumeirah Dar Al Masef (the hotel we stayed out previously along the beach).  We hadn’t gotten that much sleep on the plane so we had a pretty lazy day at the resort.  In the evening, Charlie and I went the Berg Al Arab, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world that was at our resort.  We needed a reservation just to get on the property and could only get one at the bar up in the Skybox so the boys didn’t join us.
