The nearby Jumeirah hotel is big, but does not match up in stars!
The entrance and suiting up point
That's all for the souk!
The Mina a Salam and accessory boat :3
No underwater city is complete without Dolphins!
And outside!
The undersea tunnel leading to Atlantis
have nothing to do with it!
We can actually see buildings in the distance!
