It is wonderland!


Dubai from the plane... Burj Dubai is in the middle like a stick!

We arrived in Dubai after midnight, and reached our destination on one of the largest man-made island ever at around 2AM. I had to work on my story and it was around 4:30AM that I finally slept in a very nice bed.


nice room... if this was a real vacation...

We strolled around the resort hotel and its vicinity for shots and interviews. We saw many guests smiling with the satisfaction being the celebrities on a newly opened first class resort. Though I was a guest too, we were not here to relax but to cover their opening ceremony and it was really regretful that I was not holding a cocktail on my hands but rather a heavy Sachtler tripod on my shoulders!


a great resort to stay for several days!

looking down on us...


like a castle...


the Persian Gulf behind the resort...

I'm sure it's the best time now as it would be too hot in the summer!

The other important event in the night time...

the red carpet! I'm never going to cover this unless I'm a correspondent in LA!

After 10PM, we moved to away from the resort to a spot where we can film the fireworks...
