Look Up!

My friend Reflections recently put up pictures of the latest entrant in Dubai's lavish mall galaxy - the Dubai Mall. Specifically, the pictures were of the ceilings. If you're a stranger to Dubai's shopping scene, you might be forgiven for asking what's special about the ceilings. In my experience, a walk through most malls in Dubai will have you looking up (and gaping!) as much as you look around.

Anyway, those lovely pictures prompted me to check my pic stash, and as it turns out, I do have a few ceiling shots of my current favourite mall in Dubai (in terms of decor and design) - the must-visit Ibn Batutta Mall.

Wordsndreamz - most Dubai malls are must-visit places simply for the interiors. Even if you don't buy a thing, its totally worth a trip. Thanks for the visit :)
