The Dubai Skyline in the distance
The Yas Marina Circuit
I wonder why Singapore has a sand shortage...
Commence overground surfacing
That's all folks!
Love the airtimes over the dunes!
In a station
Towards Al Bada'a
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
And gold souk entrance
Departing on the train again
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
The inner walkways with the iconic gold palm pillars
There is no dune too steep or high!
Excellent sights on the dunes
I am in the middle of nowhere!
To roll!
Some of the great sights along the way
The race track and grandstand's a short walk away
making our humble exit from the halls
Approaching Yas Island from the freeway
the world's fastest hydraulically-launched roller coaster (Formula Rossa)
The road serving Yas hotel
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
With some rather cute welcome camels
SPLOSSH!
Dune bash dune!
They can all be found in one collective area
For our transportation for the day
Spare tire - Check!
Apparently this brings you out the Arabian gulf
The Al Arab and the clear seas
Now for a visit to the race track!
Sand Drifting!
Jeff hitting the waves!
View of the roof candelier
and it is also home to...
Staring into the wilderness
The strong winds make real nice ripples over the sand
Once alls here, the dune bashing will begin in a convoy
And connects to the main building via it's station here
The red metro line is the only main operational line
It gets 3 meters in depth by the end of the wave pool
and has space for a total of 40,000 devotees
Hitting the metro into the city!
Just like this convoy here
The galleries to the washing areas
Try sliding 80kmph on the Jumeirah Sceirah
The cars can lean 40 degrees on each side at times!
The dunes can be rather rough at times, like a free range roller coaster!
