As if Dubai can get more surreal, hot air balloons drifted over our villa today.
The balloons stopped all the action in the dead end. The adults and children were mesmerized as they glided overhead in the perfect blue back drop.
Building cranes and hot air balloons. Ah, Dubai.
Zooming in, we could see the people waving as the girls screamed to them.
The photos on the balloon were equally entertaining.
The 'horse balloon' as the girls named it, went directly overhead.
The striped balloon drifted over the new building we have been watching (and hearing) get built.
The girls worried 'stripey' would get entangled in the building project...
but the navigator on board knew the path from the Jumeira beachside into the clear desert.
The Burj Khalifa twinkled in the evening sun and the people on the observation deck probably noted the balloons in the distance.
The sun's reflection and angles off the tallest building in the world are a daily spectacle best seen from our back balcony.
Just another day standing guard over the city that holds 10 of the world's top 50 tallest buildings.
The balloons drifted out of sight into the desert twilight.
