On board our natural desert 4x4
Including the Emirates palace hotel in the distance
The dance floor open for all dancers for the night
The Emirates palace hotel that is!
There are many spots in camp to try smoking the hookah
Thankful for shade!
Reaching our highlight of the trip...
The aquarium is located just by various stores
Looking real good here man!
And the main building beckons
Popping right up in the heart of town!
Double hand loose!
Mmm sharkie....
It stretches for quite a distance..
Let head in!
The roundabout fountain by the palace
The right wing
Got Wind?
There are many places of worship along the creek
Mmm shiny...
really interesting... architecture
The tunnel looks as if meant to be a free item in the mall
There are several local Arabian cusines served
Closeup of the front facade
The central candelier viewed directly from below
Reflective views of the lake
But the exterior views is all we need. :P
Looks like jeff needs some additional clothing to enter. :P
Look fishes in the shops!
Let head on in!
On the bus towards the palace!
But the schools of fishes look healthy
The queues are long!
Breaking out for the BBQ and buffet dinner for the night!
Houston, seems we hav a problem with the free water bottles
Presenting the biggest Mosque in the UAE
Inside the mall which everyone's talking about
The left wing of the courtyard
Nyaa Gold 2008 Ceremony
There are still limited Coral life in the tank
The mall has many of these tall spire tent thingies
including man made wooden piers for a weathered look
Seeing more stars!
More models of how the wind towers work as natural AC
Sprinkler pipelines are a common sight through the arid lands
Back into the village!
The hotel entrance
clap clap clap!
Plane plane! we are saved! :P
Allowing you to thread each step on the open marble courtyard in pure serenity
