Had tour of old part of Dubai.  The historical village, before the seven Emerites States United about 1970.  Fort, museum, old housing, restored to historical neighborhood, then converted to hotels, art galleries, association offices, looks like residences of old, but now more civic minded uses.  Then walked gold and spice souks (specialized markets).  Went back to Dubai Mall, which by the way is the largest in the world, but newer on is already under construction, and will be bigger than Dubai Mall.  Then went to world's tallest building, the 160 floor building, plus another twenty unoccupied floors, because the floor space is so restricted.  The went to Emerites Mall, where the downhill skiing hill is built inside the mall, also sledding shutes, ski chair lifts, zip lines, walking in the snow...  Saw it all from ski viewing Windows in the mall. Took rapid transit home to hotel, and walked from station to hotel, proud of my self and got back by a direct route.  Was still very warm and humid, so was swetty.  AC is greatly appreciated.  One more day in Dubai, then I'm off to India on Monday.
