A Bit Of Mexico In Dubai...



With a day packed with exploring Dubai behind us - with visits to the Dubai Mall, dune bashing and entertainment in the desert and staring in amazement (bewilderment?) at Burj Khalifa, it was time to call it a day. Well, not quite, we went about exploring the hotel and found quite a few Mesoamerican artworks - a distinctive style that I saw a few weeks back in Mexico...


The gaudiness of Dubai has to be seen to be believed...


There isn't anything called an "understated elegance"...


It's all over the top and in your face...
And it shows in the decor...




And this is something I had seen a few weeks back in Mexico...


Mesoamerican pottery on display and sale...
Psst... Don't ask me the prices...


Moroccan lamps...




A lovely display of bottles and jars in the restaurant...


Some more pottery from Mexico...



This piece is distinctively Mexican...



A lovely jar...


And so is this one...




Heading back to the room...



What's your poison?


But with a tiring day behind us, a long 10-hour sleep beckons! Good night!
