Niffy polar bears!
Bow to the Zorb ball
Complete with a full ski slope!
and it's own ski lift too!
The place is constantly maintained below freezing
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
The entrance and suiting up point
The ski cafe
An atrium in the Emirates mall
The mall central fountain
All overlooked by the behemoth ski slope
complete with boutique stalls
ground shops and fountain in the background
Plants feeling the wrath of the heat
no wonder!
it does get as hot as 48 degrees midday
Crusing along Sheikh Zayed road again
Passing by several towers
including many tall ones
Like the Burj Khalifa!
These palm trees might give a hint...
The tower never needs to hide
It just pokes it's spire anywhere in the city
I guess it being the tallest building in the world...
have nothing to do with it!
With it's own Ferrari store. :P
Here we are at the Festival City!
The long glass roofed galleries
No Ferrari store is complete with a Ferrari!
The mall main atrium
Well, only in Dubai!
kids floating on water in giant balls
what on earth's at the atrium?
Digging the cross linking stairs upwards
The atrium from inside
And outside!
A marina sits just off the shopping center
and is home to a number of yachts
Wacky architecture by the creekside

The marina-side walk
Enjoying the sunset
This marina is connected to the main creek
which links right to the Arabian gulf
A deserted amusement park nearby
Cool lan gaming centers
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Hitting the underground metro
To the Union area
Strolling down the street shops
