The mall galleries
If only I have my skates for a grind now.
The sand storms are lighter today! :P
Getting at the center of things...
The Arabian fast food is rather popular here
Though we are not really technically underwater!
The roof in mall's central hall
towards the palm islands!
Various Yachts zooming by the waterside
I guess it being the tallest building in the world...
Decked with a rather aqua-palace theme
Passing by several towers
Overview of the Atlantis waterpark
Remembered seeing this store on a discovery channel special on the mall
Our next stop...
A rather modern looking mosque on the islands
ahhh, the sun, sand, sea...
some stores are so huge, they have their own travelator!
Domes are synonymous in Arbain culture
An uncompleted monorail station
including many tall ones
No Ferrari store is complete with a Ferrari!

Few of the many posh eating outlets, serving surprising affordable food
The central atrium of the mall
Diy sand bottles
In the desert?

Spotted: a stretch Audi Q5
Crusing down on our convertible
Shaun, Atlantis,Car
On our way back!
ground shops and fountain in the background
Plants feeling the wrath of the heat
discovering 10 gazillion leagues under the sea!
Inside the Monorail Station

The long glass roofed galleries
Digging the cross linking stairs upwards
Several posh shops in store, such as Porsche design
Complete with it's own hotels
