Christmas trees around town

by Grace on December 29, 2008

Just a quick post to say I am still taking house guest around town. Christmas may have passed but in Souk Madinat Jumeirah, the beautiful tree is still standing.

In Dubai Mall, we found a gigantic white tree that spans three building floors.

 

The base of the tree – compare my friend’s and Pristine’s size to the tree! My camera’s cheap prime lens couldn’t capture the whole length of the tree so here’s two-thirds of it:

I don’t know when they’ll take these trees down but it sure adds something nice despite what is happening in some hot parts of the Middle East right now.

Dubai’s openness to Christian symbols make this great city a real attraction to millions of tourists a year. I hope Dubai would always remain a safe and secure place in the Middle East.

Dubai certainly has some of the nicest and most interestingly decorated trees I have even seen. Someday I would love to see Dubai in person. Praying your area always stays safe.
