Dubai 2012 : Day 2 ~ Jumeirah Beach, Burj Al Arab & Souk Madinat Jumeirah

Our 2nd day in Dubai dah ke mana2 tak ikut plan. Planned nak ke Atlantis - Marine & Water Park, tapi akibat berguling-guling dgn jayanya atas katil with keadaan bilik yg gelap tak buka curtain... plus jam tak adjust to Dubai time... hahahahaha memang ke laut laaa! So, next trip aje kita ke Atlantis ye kanak-kanak. Melompat dari katil, terus mandi & get ready. For the late breakfast, we only had breads & reheat the leftover pizza. Tahan cab & terus ke Jumeirah Beach & Burj Al Arab.

Cab in Dubai mmg efficient. Banyak & semua pakai meter mcm di Doha. Senang nak bergerak from A to B. 

Passing by Burj Al Arab

Matahari mmg tegak atas kepala bila tiba at Jueirah Beach. Fuuuhhh... panas & silau mata dek pancaran matahari. Hadeef as usual lah... langsung taknak pasir masuk in his footwear. Tu yang meniti all the way.

Kami cuba posing2 kat sini... the Burj Al Arab as background, oklah tu. Bukan boleh go nearer or betul2 go there. I heard a cup of coffee cost about AED300. Kem salam jek la. Tu belum the room rates.... menggigil lutut big boss :)

Buah hati Baba

Memang takde plan nak picnic or mandi mandi kat sini. We all lagi chance the kids nak cecah2 kaki kat air. Jernih betul air laut & area surrounding pun bersih. Cuma permandangan mata tu la tak berapa nak bersih. Ada org tu sampai2 at the beach terus ckp... "Hishhh, tak bagus dok sini lama2. Bahaya. Kurang pahala!" Kalau betul2 cakap seikhlas hati, baguslah. Alhamdulillah. Hadeef pun muka confuse... "Mommy, kenapa semua org pakai bra ngan spender jek ni?". Hahahaha!

While the kids tgh happy sakan main air, both of us bising jek ingatkan budak2 soh baik2. Kalau jatuh dalam air habislah basah... how?

Akhirnya.... scene Hadeef jatuh dalam air

Hahahaha.... nak salahkan siapa yg muka sampai muncung sedepa?!

Luckily, got a pair inside the bag. Kalau tak... jalanlah dgn baju basah

Berjalan tepi pantai sambil cari2 cab yang available. Nampak ada satu parked there but the driver tgh makan limau la pulak. Serba salah nak cakap, karang kacau pulak dia tgh syok makan limau. Hubby booked that cab & soh the driver abiskan dulu makan. At the end, all of us share makan limau jugak. Rezeki :)

Next, we went to the Souk Madinat, just nearby the Burj Al Arab. Otw, we passed by Wild Wadi Water Park. Kalau nak ikutkan budak2 ni memang diorang nak ke situ. Mmg ada perancangan... but since budak2 kecik lagi (mcm lama sangat boleh bertahan kalau berendam & main air), we all postponed to next visit, Insya Allah.

Cik Puan Kecik, silalah turun...

Cantik betul this Souk & tak crowded. Boeh jalan2 dengan aman.

Shawl & kain cantik2

Geram tgk lampu2 tu

For lunch, we all makan ringan2 jek as we had late breakfast.
Perut kenyang lagi. The Chicken Sandwich was so yummy!

Shop selling jubah, long dress & shawl. 

Org tu belikan one jubah... kain sgt lembut... suka!

Thanks laling :)

Alahai sorang satu nak firdge magnet

Perangai biasa... kan Dideep... kan...?

Toys... Toys... Toys... mana ada toys kat sini

Merajuk la konon. MNL!

Outside area of the Souk

This cruise cost AED70 per person. We all tak naik pun...

Konon2 nak menuju ke Burj Al Arab tu... nak pegi dekat. Alaaa... kena sekat la pulak. Just the hotel guests jek leh lalu situ. Around this Souk memang ada few hotels. Hubby kata kalau ada rezeki lebih, next trip leh la we all stay there :) Insya Allah

Lots of restaurants & cafe too

 

Jalan punya jalan... cam berkenan pulak kat this artwork. But the artist takde ulak masa tu. Dah la we all mengejar masa sebab nak menuju ke tempat lain after this. Dah janji with the tour agency. Kena tunggu 15 minutes for the artist to come. Mamat kat situ ckp, cuma 5 minit jek siap... so we all decided to wait.

 

 

In action...

Bolehlah... nak cepat punya pasal & miscommunication punya pasal gak

Tapi memang kagum la tgk dia buat

Ada driver menunggu di hotel for our next activity & we are absolutely LATE! Ok..... dah siap kan, apa lagi? 1.. 2.. 3.. lariiiiiiiiiiiiiii...........!!!

Dubai 2012 : Day 1 ~ Ski Dubai & Mall of Emirates

Alhamdulillah....

Kami terbang ke Dubai utk cuti sekolah kali ni. Just a 5-days short break at Dubai & Abu Dhabi. Jadilah kan... nak release apa2 yang patut. But the main reason ke sana sebab nak tunaikan hajat Aryssa. Masa di Mekkah dia ckp yang dia teringin nak main snow. Jadi Baba pun bawalah kami ke Dubai... destinasi paling dekat yang bole Aryssa nak main2 snow.

We took Fly Dubai from Doha to Dubai at 9.30am. Kol 7 dah ke airport. I was not feeling well... dah beberapa hari before pun sebenarnya. Tapi ku gagahi jua for them... selagi mampu, I must be strong like always. Syukur pada Allah.

The flight was not bad at all. Memang selesa & the kids enjoyed it. Sempat makan2, main games & watched movie. Duration of the journey was 45 minutes.

Selamat tiba di Dubai, kami terus menuju hotel. Bilik pun available & dah boleh check-in. Alhamdulillah..... I really need a place to rest so bad that time. Muka dah pucat & rasa mcm2... biasalah kalau dah tak sihat, begitulah.... dugaan....

Otw to hotel... suka budak2 kecik ni dpt tgk this fokker flew above us, across the flyover & later landing on the water.

And this is our room, Junior Suite at Coral Al Khoory Hotel through booking.com. We stayed here for 2 nights. Ada washing machine & tempat sidai baju yang proper... so dengan senang hatinya we all dapat basuh baju. The kitchenette pun very complete with refrigerator, microwave & segala perkakasan memasak pun ada.

Sampai2 jek bilik... semua terus terbongkang tido. Macamlah lama sangat journey tadi. But seriously memang tak larat. At 3pm barulah we all bangun and barulah ingat nak makan. Laparnya.... we all order jek from Room Service. Apa yang ada... ngap jek la.

After meal... sambung lepak2 lagi... watch TV la... borak2 la. Ada dua budak kecik dah tak boleh tahan asyik ajak pergi jalan & nak main snow. Dengan rela hati mandi & siapkan diri sendiri. Hahaha. At about 6pm, we all pun keluarlah dari 'sangkar'. Puaslah hati budak berdua tu. The hotel is just a 10 minutes walking distance to the Mall of Emirates.

Mula2 tengok mall tu pun dah rasa tak larat. We all terus ke Ski Dubai. As I was not well, we purchased the Snow Park pass only.

 

 

 To enter the Snow Park, we need to buy our own glove. Paling murah AED20 per pair. Alahai rasa membazir pulak. Kalau tau, for sure we bring our own.

 Collecting jackets, trousers & boots

Get ready!

 Semua dah tak menyabar nak masuk Snow Park

 Happy girl :) Puaslah hati dia impian tercapai

Aryssa.... this is for you!

Hahahahaaaaa! Baba got a pair of PINK boot!!!

 Before entering the Snow Park

Lets enjoy the rest of the photos.....

 Get ready for the snow ball fight!

 Hahahaha.... Hadeef dah kena!

 

 The Penguin Show. 

Penguin Encounter (additional AED175). 

We all tumpang tengok je. Tak dapatlah nak membelai2 the penguins

Puaslah the kids baring & guling2 atas snow

 Baba's turn pulak. Tarik... jgn tak tarik :P

 

 Budak tak tau sejuk... relax jek

Mommy & Baba dah menggigiltak hengat

 Dah tak tahan sejuk we all keluar

Minum hot choc pun dapat bertahan sekejap jek. 

Pastu menggigil balik...

 Bagi chance lagi... bagi betul2 puas hati

Overall.... bestlah jugak bermain snow kat Ski Dubai. For me, yang penting the kids happy.

Ingatkan dah puas main kat Snow Park.. rupanya nak jugak main at the games arcade. Adoi! Malas nak layan lama2. Naik few rides cukuplah.

We had a simple dinner at Friday's. Lepak & relax2.... saya mmg perlukan 'pit stop' nak rehat & recharge. Hadeef pulak sibuk tengok Tom & Jerry there.

 The Raspberry drink (ntahapa nama) was very refreshing  & sedap

 Kalau dah nama Hadeef.... memanglah begini. 

Tgh negotiate with Baba nak gi main games lagi & beli toys. 

Haiyyyooo! Banyak cantik??! 

Limit mesti ada... kan?

 Shopping baju budak2 sket & round setakat yang larat

Ok... mommy's energy dah zero

Nak balik hotel pleaseeeee.... Nak tido!
