Vegan hotel room snackies - Dubai edition!

All over the incredibly hot and humid Dubai today, and still have to go back out to the souqs in search of the illusive wild coffee mug (most of my readership knows exactly what this is about.)

Today:
Jumeriah Beach Walk (sucked, but putting my feet into the Arabian Gulf was nice)
Burj Khalifa (for being the world's tallest building, the trip to the top is only worth doing if you're a check it off kind of person)
Dubai Centre For Special Needs Charity Shop (total fail: doors locked,  complex deserted)
Ibn Battuta mall (surprisingly beautiful interior architecture, but it's still a shopping mall)
Karama Shopping Centre souq (meh - lots of crap, but no coffee mugs)

Still got a couple souqs to try for mugs, but it's looking dire.

The food is interesting:the hummus is almost more tahini than chick pea, the weird quasi-ganoushj so-so but edible,  the grape leaves eh.
