The Best of Dubai - Day 6 Final

Dec 06, 2015,10:00 AM
 

The final day we stayed at the Armani Hotel. 


This is a very nice ultra modern design hotel and I love their clean and posh look. Most of the people are from Italy.

We have the fountain view suite with nice view, and can listen to fountain music through TV while enjoying the musical fountain dances.

Of course, I visit to the TOP of Burj Khalifa is a must, not really the TOP but at 124th story.

Original we planned for the Atmosphere restaurant for high tea (again) and view since we are going up, but the dinner last night at Al Mahara is way too much food so we passed, just visit the observatory deck.

Overall, this trip to Dubai has been very smooth, lucky on the nice weather and everything is wonderful.

We will visit again in future.

Thanks for looking.
