ancient and modern egypt

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Arnelio is in town! He is a friend and colleague who is now based in Canada. He is here in Dubai for a 1-week visit.

For his first night, we went to Wafi City. This is a complex styled after ancient Egypt which includes a mall, hotel, restaurants, residences and nightclub. The design is a collection of columns reminiscent of pyramids and pharaohs. The main attraction of Wafi City is the pyramid-shaped Wafi Mall.

Another Dubai-based friend, Charrie also joined us. Both of them are my old buddies from the sunny company. We never thought that one day, we will reunite in this part of the world. Pardon me for not posting their close-up pix here as I need to get their approval.

For the dinner, we went to Seville’s; a Spanish inspired restaurant. We had chorizo, gambas and garlic-tomatoe bread for appetizer. For the main course, we had the house-special seafood paella and lamb stew. Surprisingly, this resto doesn’t serve steamed plain rice. But fortunately, the Pinoy waiter offered to buy the plain rice from the nearby restaurants as per our request. Of course, we left him an ample tip for his kind gesture.
