The specialists at the Dermologica branch in Dubai mall are very good. So I'd suggest you rather have a facial there and they will do a right one for you depending on your skin type. If my memory serves me right, its approx Aed 350

You sure do not get the classic / authentic style Japenese beds here. However, you can get similar styles in a modern enhancement and higher at Home centre, Homes R Us Pan emirates etc. Alternatively you can buy a natural large rug, and lay a matress on it with cusions and low style bed side drawers. If time permits, you can get a carpenter to make you a very low frame for the bed.

To my knowledge I know of an acquaintance who takes his kid to the BMX track in Jebel Ali by the go kart place. You can call up the go kart track and check if they know anything.. I will sure try and find out more for you. Dont know about the Awir one.

Dubai Duty free is open 24 hours this is for all the stores there including MAC. The MAC store at Duty free is about 10% cheaper than the market.. however, if you know specifically what you want then its good. I personally feel rushed and carried away and always come away with things I dont need and will not use.

can you post links to pictures of them - maybe someone will like them That would be an idea for those who have got 50K plus to splurge on his coveted paintings. On second thoughts she shouldn't have a problem selling them even in India. There is a market for it.

Dreading the morning school / work rush. I think as a resident its our responsibility to inform the schools of our LO's, whose buses frequent the community of the change so that they can schedule to pick up times maybe slightly earlier due to the anticipated delays.

Its a landscapers favorite as they come really cheap and grow quick and lush the way most people like their gardens. Conocarpus Erectus is not really a tree, but a rather large woody shrub growing up to 40 feet tall. It originates in North America from the edges of swamplands in Florida, which is why it has often times been confused to be a mangrove. It is not a mangrove though, but is a very hardy plant that can survive the hot weather, bad air, bad soils and frequent droughts associated with urban environments very well. Its leaves are very thick and leathery which help it retain its health in the heat, and the plant also grows very well in saline soils. In fact, its salt tolerance is so good that it has been used for the reclaimation of salinity damaged lands. All these qualities make it an ideal plant for Dubai. However, they are water seakers and have know to even find their way to swimming pools, seweage tanks etc in search of water. They are used in swap areas in Australia to dry up the area and then cut down. If many are planted in a row close to each other and close to the wall it can topple a wall. Few cases in AR. The roots spread out in all directions, four to five times the tree height, mostly in the top one-foot of soil. These far reaching, essentially shallow roots, anchor the tree as storm winds blow from side to side. When a tree is placed too close to foundations, driveways and other built structures that interrupt the radial extent of the roots, or when roots are cut to protect or make way for built structures, the tree is more prone to topple. Plant trees far enough away from buried cables and sewer lines so that the roots do not grow into these utilities this trees has an aggressive root system. In fact in Bahrain they are banned due to the incredible damage they are doing to walls, houses etc due to root system http://www.landscapeinfoguide.com.au/landscape_plants/trees/trees---10zzr0m---15zzr0m/227-conocarpus-lancifolius.html

Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits. LOOOOOLL EXCELLENT!!!
