We moved to THE FAIRMONT HOTEL which was just across the road from the old one.. this room was not as big.. well.. we packed up in the morning and checked out and we went to the Wild Wadi and Buj Al Arab to have a look.. the sister companies of the Emirates Towers... Buj Al Arab (pronounced as Bur-jul-arab) is Dubai's six star hotel.. this building looks like a yaucht near the sea.. so nice.. inside most of the trimmings are made of real gold leh.. so shining.. hmm.. the buffet lunch can cost $100++ for a person.. can u believe it.. just becux it is 6 stars.. hahax.. well.. this day had a great Lebanese dinner with all mutton dinner.. hahax.. this dish is called SHARWARMA.. shaved mutton wrapped with lebanese bread and n yougurt.. yum yum.. lots ppl says its smelly.. haha.. i dun think so...
