There's a whole array of souks (market) shops here
The escalator twine up the floors
Complete with an eyptian themed stained glass facade!
The big buses operate every 30 minutes here
Our choosen boogie ride for the day
Despite indoor airconditioning, everyone's all outside!
Wafi in all it's glory
Mmm raffles, what are they doing here? :P
The world trade center
The traffic system here in Dubai is rather organised
Visiblity is fairly good today
Offering rather decent photo opportunities
You got to get used to sights of barren land here
except for an occasional boat in the middle of nowhere!
The Jumeirah mosque
The Mercato Mall
Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
The park's large main circular floyer
The shack to the beach
The beach is huge!
There's plenty of space for everyone alike
offering views of the distant skyline
These cool water dispensers are a real lifesaver in the heat!
Oh a dolphinarium!
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
A button inside activates an exterior bus stopping light for drivers
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
Back on the boogie bus!
Some of the huge houses by Sufouh Road
Another mosuqe down the street.
Look how long that exterior gate is!
And the next highlight of our trip!
The horses are Arabian?
twin beach resorts by the beach line
Yesh! only a dinky 5 stars?
The Al Arab from the Jumeirah beachline
Open air seating areas facing the sea
Specifically the Burj Al Arab, a 7 star hotel
Scenic views from the balcony
The white sandy public beaches
the palace hotel blocks
It even has a heli pad on the roof!
Though modern, the palace is largely themed to traditional Arabian
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
the restaurant seating areas
beside it is the Jumeirah beach hotel
It's an international buffet spread!
Some of the many fountains in the open
