Dubai Festival City, Truly Festive

            
On a recent trip to Dubai Festival City, we decided to take a stroll outside along the waterfront. There were lots of activities taking place. Of course the mall was filled with shoppers, but upon exiting the mall we came across bikes on display, people either going on rides at the amusement park or strolling along the waterfront, while some dined overlooking the water and docked yachts.

There were people sailing along the canal on dhows, Elton John music videos blasting from a floating karaoke Stage and kids floating in the water in inflated see through balls. It was fun to watch these kids trying to balance themselves only to end up on their buttocks, while nearby, fast food stands served up pop corn, hot dogs and ice-cream.

Our main reason for taking a walk on the waterfront was to see the enormous Christmas tree on display. This year it was standing tall in front of the InterContinental hotel that is only a short walk from the mall, it was no problem since the night was cool.

The tree was decorated with lots of flashing christmas lights that transformed from blue to green, to yellow, it was wonderful to watch. There were also these big toys hanging from the tree courtesy of Toys R Us. Watch the video below of the tree in action.
