- The entrance of the Marina mall
- Inside the mall which everyone's talking about
- The mall has many of these tall spire tent thingies
- Not to mention fountains to go with the theme too
- The place is nicely themed
- With a good mix of artifical and ambient light
- Really digging this cavernous central area
- A mix of modern and aquatic feel
- The tower leading up to the overhead tower
- The mall is at most 2 floors high in most areas
- And of course, no marina mall is complete without dolphins!
- On the bus towards the palace!
- The Emirates palace hotel that is!
- Only we can't exaclty go in!
- But the exterior views is all we need. :P
- Closeup of the front facade
- We even made some new friends!
- A group we met yesterday in Dubai!
- Enroute along Sultan Bin Zayed Street
- The roundabout fountain by the palace
- The hotel entrance
- Niffy!
- Houston, seems we hav a problem with the free water bottles
- Passing by several interesting buildings alongside
- really interesting... architecture
- Reaching our highlight of the trip...
- Presenting the biggest Mosque in the UAE
- The Sheikh Zayed Mosque!
- It has a very distinctive pure white look to it
- considering it mostly being constructed out of white marble
- The right spire
- The main front entrance
- Let head in!
- The views just gets better as you near it
- And the matching left!
- It's a tranquil sea of white here
- You can almost see your face reflecting from the floors
- The view from the entrance
- And the main building beckons
- Cleaners polish the floor almost every other day
- Let get some sun!
- In the vast open courtyards
- The place is surrounded by shrill slience
- A considering that it is after all a place of worship
- The left wing of the courtyard
- Allowing you to thread each step on the open marble courtyard in pure serenity
- Looking real good here man!
- The right wing
- It's huge and it's only the world's eighth largest mosque.
- The sea of white reflecting under the sun
