I don't see any gecko here
O rly?
Bobble bobble bobble
Is that a mini desert I see?
feast your eyes on these!
Tranquility at it's best
Roaches
The place is nicely carpeted
The displays end with a hall
and tiny tents...
I spy fishies which are jelly
Diggin the desert sunsets
Got Migration?
and is home to few nice gardens too
Rawr human! feed me!
views of the Mangrove swamps
Ahem, Sawfish?
The displays snake through rather well rainforest themed areas
Stepping into the inner areas of the mosque
Taking a walk by the gardens by the main building
Another group tackling the dunes below the hill
archaeological specimens on display
mmm squeaky clean!
Please top up $10,234.89 for roaming charges in the desert
Camels included!
between each pillar structure sits a rather neat looking stained glass flower
Iconic tent-thingie included!
A scorpion!
And you can always ask questions when in doubt
And an occasional duck into the walkways to escape the burning desert sun
A resonable crowd, but otherwise quiet on most stretches on a hot noon day
An overview of the Giant aquarium
Oh look a river otter!
The zoo is rather nicely themed, especially this limestone cave
See the hotel?
The view from the entrance
Oh at least there's some water bodies here
Our rest spot overlooks a large knoll
Did I mention POTS?
Complete with a full flowing fountain
It's like a mini self-sufficient town
Looking out through the main doors into the courtyard
Topped with a fanastic fruit smoothie!
The entrance of the Marina mall
Not too far off is the Waterfront Promenade
Lookie here
Shaun, sand, knoll
There are plenty of on board DVD movies to keep us entertained
A work of art in the making
The jeeps look like ants in the distance
