MONDAY’S MAGICAL MOMENT: UAE CHRISTMAS TREE

$11 MILLION CHRISTMAS TREE

Two years ago, I  was stranded in the United Arab Emirates at Christmas because of terrible snowstorms across Ireland and England.  I was delighted to find, in this very Muslim country, many Christmas decorations and carols being played.  Of course, being the UAE, this Christmas tree is “over the top”….it’s decorated with $11 MILLION worth of jewelry!  It was in the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi and was very well-guarded.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

MONDAY’S MAGICAL MOMENT: CRANES IN DUBAI, UAE

I really enjoyed seeing the red, white and blue when I was homesick in Dubai.  The crane may be the national bird of Dubai.
