Is that a mini desert I see?
feast your eyes on these!
The place is nicely carpeted
Rawr human! feed me!
Diggin the desert sunsets
The displays snake through rather well rainforest themed areas
and tiny tents...
and is home to few nice gardens too
views of the Mangrove swamps
Ahem, Sawfish?
Taking a walk by the gardens by the main building
Another group tackling the dunes below the hill
archaeological specimens on display
Stepping into the inner areas of the mosque
A scorpion!
between each pillar structure sits a rather neat looking stained glass flower
And you can always ask questions when in doubt
An overview of the Giant aquarium
Camels included!
Iconic tent-thingie included!
Please top up $10,234.89 for roaming charges in the desert
mmm squeaky clean!
The zoo is rather nicely themed, especially this limestone cave
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!
See the hotel?
Our rest spot overlooks a large knoll
Spot lighting to mimic daylight
Lookie here
Topped with a fanastic fruit smoothie!
The view from the entrance
Not too far off is the Waterfront Promenade
Oh at least there's some water bodies here
It's like a mini self-sufficient town
Looking out through the main doors into the courtyard
Did I mention POTS?
There are plenty of on board DVD movies to keep us entertained
Shaun, sand, knoll
Complete with a full flowing fountain
Arowanas? that's a chinese businessman wetdream
The jeeps look like ants in the distance
The entrance of the Marina mall
A work of art in the making
Our Arabic camp site for the night!
As the sun sets
Omftfg Camels?
It's a village aright!
The next highlight in the mall will include
While filling our bellies with food...
