Today we wanted to relax, so I thought that it would be a good idea to stay at the nearby roof top swimming pool at the Gevora.
The hotel, that is 357 meters high, takes the title from a local neighbour – the JW Marriott Marquis, which is just a metre shorter. Though officially a four-star property, the Gevora hopes to compete with some of Dubai’s top hotels (its logo is, after all, uncannily reminiscent of Gucci’s).
Nathalie always dreamt about swimming between buildings ….check, done!
After a light lunch, Regina wanted to show us Dubai’s latest project: ‘La mer’ http://www.lamerdubai.ae
La Mer is a beachfront development project by Meraas. Basically, it is a collection of walkways, shops, restaurants and entertainment areas clustered by one of Dubai’s beautiful beaches.
And then…sadly enough it was time to say goodbye to Dubai and to our lovely hosts and to prepare for a long flight over Beirut to Brussels…
