Had three weeks of house guests and what a fabulous time! Complete mayhem, meals to be organised, sight seeing to be done, getting everyone to get ready on time, rushing back to collect son from school - its been a mad, mad three weeks but oh what wonderful weeks!
I think I actually saw Dubai with different eyes, cos this was "my city" that I was showing around! In course of digging around, trying to find what they could do other than shop and eat lavish brunches, discovered the Dubai Sound and Light Show.
Held at Wafi Mall, every evening at 7.30 p.m., 8.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m., the setting is beautiful and the weather now perfect for it!
Held on the walls of the Pyramids, just opposite the Arabian Souk - Khan Murjan - at Wafi, there is no formal seating, so you just lounge on the steps or sit on the edging. We of course landed up at 6.30, ending up at Wafi without getting lost (yours truly was driving) and there was not a soul in sight till about 7.15 p.m. I was beginning to feel a tad foolish, having dragged my visitors all the way for nothing!
To kill time, we did go down to the Arabian Souk, which is essentially a beautifully constructed, decorated souk (its visually really impressive) selling a lot of overpriced kitch, and to the restaurant in the atrium. Its open air, and serves traditional Levant food. The falafel, humous and the bread was fresh and the atmosphere nice.
Finally around 7.20-25 the crowds started to collect, and around 7.40 p.m. or so the lights were switched off. The 7.30 and 9.30 p.m. shows are called "Wafi goes Wild" and is essentially a wild life sound & light show - the visuals are fabulous and the sound great and its an interesting 10 minutes.
Its hugely different from the Sound & Light shows in Cairo and New Delhi where the show essentially is historical and uses the natural backdrop of the Pyramids (Cairo) and the Red Fort (Delhi) to recreate their history. These shows are mesmerising cos they transport you back in history and make it come alive for you. So don't go to the Dubai Sound & light show expecting the same!
However, this is different and impressive in its own way, and, I think the whole experience of sitting out in the open, with the impressive Egyptian structure in front of you, the great visuals and the impressive sound, all add to a lovely experience.
At 8.30 p.m is the Pharaohs show, which is something I definitely want to watch - it should be even more fascinating, given that its ancient Egyptian history projected onto a pharaonic structure. A def must do! The clip looks really interesting!
