Yesh! only a dinky 5 stars?
The hotel front porch
Is this the tropics?
The Al Qasr entrance
Some of the many fountains in the open
the Al Arab overlooks all
more of the souk
Posh seating over the bridge
It's essentially a souk (market)
The view of the Medina Jumeirah
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
Looks rather Ferrari-rish
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
Gideyap!
The horses are Arabian?
The Entrada del Hotel Al Qasr!

golden horses, which can only mean...
Not too far off is another pretty site...
Look how long that exterior gate is!
Some of the huge houses by Sufouh Road
beside it is the Jumeirah beach hotel
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
It even has a heli pad on the roof!
The white sandy public beaches
Specifically the Burj Al Arab, a 7 star hotel
The Al Arab from the Jumeirah beachline
twin beach resorts by the beach line
And the next highlight of our trip!
Another mosuqe down the street.
Back on the boogie bus!
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
A button inside activates an exterior bus stopping light for drivers
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
Oh a dolphinarium!
These cool water dispensers are a real lifesaver in the heat!
offering views of the distant skyline
There's plenty of space for everyone alike
The beach is huge!
The shack to the beach
The park's large main circular floyer
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
The Mercato Mall
The Jumeirah mosque
except for an occasional boat in the middle of nowhere!
You got to get used to sights of barren land here
Offering rather decent photo opportunities
