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