Highlights of the day:

  • Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park
  • EXPO Seen: Flamingo Lake, Expo Lake 2020 Observation Deck, Expo Lake

We have to check out by 12 PM, so we take advantage of the amenities at our 5***** hotel and chill by the pool and at the beach (at the beach only briefly – too hot).

At 12 PM we check out and leave the Fairmont the Palm heading towards the desert. Before we go to visit family in Abu Dhabi, we want to check out the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
