There's plenty of space for everyone alike
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
twin beach resorts by the beach line

A deserted amusement park nearby
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
And the next highlight of our trip!

The Jumeirah mosque
maison-centrale-prison-012
And is rather extensively used by the locals
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
Another mosuqe down the street.
The Mercato Mall
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times

Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
maison-centrale-prison-013
Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
which can snake on for ages!
which links right to the Arabian gulf
The creek side Dhow markets
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!

A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
maison-centrale-prison-008
offering views of the distant skyline

There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
The shack to the beach
Strolling down the street shops
Shaun + snowboard can only mean...
The notorious creek river taxis
Gold glitters on every store front
As well a fountains you can fall right into
More cushy seating by the oasis
Technology changing with the times
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
This marina is connected to the main creek
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
Cool lan gaming centers
