We arrived in Dubai just before 1 am, and got a taxi to take us to our hotel, the Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates (previously named Pullman Mall of the Emirates). Luckily, our price had been locked in when we originally booked, as we’d never be able to afford to stay there otherwise. It’s just that this hotel is so convenient, being attached directly to the Mall - very handy when you have loads of shopping to carry!
This hotel is very luxurious, and similar to the last time we stayed here, the staff are waiting so politely to help you in any way - the service is incredible. The views out over the city should have been interesting, but unfortunately the smog marred everything - so, no photos this time.

After enjoying our breakfast from the sumptuous buffet upon arising later in the morning, we split up from the Barrows, and headed in different directions to browse around the Mall. We seem to end up buying shoes when we come here, and did so again. We weren’t too much in the mood to buy much else, but did get another carry-on bag very cheaply at one of the department stores. It was also interesting looking around the supermarket in the mall, and we were especially pleased to see the meat cabinets full of New Zealand lamb and beef!
We had an enjoyable dinner that evening with the Barrows, at a restaurant in the mall's food court that did a great job of my gluten free meal.

After packing all our goodies, we had an early night, ahead of the early start the next morning for our flight home via Sydney.
