UAE Trip - December 2017

I was browsing the net when suddenly it flashed to me "Why not go to Dubai for vacation??"I discussed about this at home and yes everyone got excited and we started the preparations for it.
I had been following a vacation planner page for  sometime now(I don't want to mention their name here) and since their reviews were too good and they had won several awards in the recent days I suggested about them to my husband.My husband called them and since he too was satisfied we decided to contact them.They took care of booking tickets,booking hotels,planning our itinerary.

We left to Dubai in Emirates flight on 23rd Saturday,9.45am flight from Chennai airport and reached Dubai at 12.40 pm.A driver had come to pick us up at the airport and we got down at Jumeira Rotana hotel.We refreshed ourselves and being pure vegetarians,inquired people there,took a taxi and went to Akshar restaurant in Bur Dubai.We had an excellent pure vegetarian meal which did have an Indian touch.We then got back to our room and got ready for our Cruise

The next day we had continental breakfast in the hotel we stayed . A bus came to pick us up and we started off to Dubai trip. Unfortunately our bus stopped in between due to some fault and it was late by the time another bus arrived for transportation.The slowed down near the Emirates Palace and gave us a brief introduction on it.Then few of our co-passengers  got down at Ferrari world while others took some photos there and then headed to Sheikh Zyed mosque.
As in all mosques there are some dress restrictions to enter the mosque.Only those who follow it strictly are allowed to enter the mosque. It was indeed a huge mosque and also housed the world's largest carpet and chandelier.
The next day as our bus driver missed to pick us up(there was a total chaos with the tourism planner we had booked,guess it was our fate),we changed the plan.
We visited Dubai's miracle garden where
