Double hand loose!
Breaking out for the BBQ and buffet dinner for the night!
Historical currency banknotes
The Emirates palace hotel that is!
Reflective views of the lake
And the main building beckons
Looking real good here man!
Including the Emirates palace hotel in the distance
There are still limited Coral life in the tank
Thankful for shade!
Closeup of the front facade
Reaching our highlight of the trip...
really interesting... architecture
The tunnel looks as if meant to be a free item in the mall
Popping right up in the heart of town!
But the exterior views is all we need. :P
Houston, seems we hav a problem with the free water bottles
The right wing
Look fishes in the shops!
The roundabout fountain by the palace
More models of how the wind towers work as natural AC
On the bus towards the palace!
Fountains play at the mall lake every half hour
Got Wind?
including man made wooden piers for a weathered look
The hotel entrance
There are many places of worship along the creek
And the food good too!
The mall has many of these tall spire tent thingies
And they can get rather large in number here
clap clap clap!
Mmm shiny...
Inside the mall which everyone's talking about
Plane plane! we are saved! :P
Dessert in the Desert anyone?
Presenting the biggest Mosque in the UAE
Niffy fountain
The left wing of the courtyard
We even made some new friends!
Back into the village!
Allowing you to thread each step on the open marble courtyard in pure serenity
Looks like jeff needs some additional clothing to enter. :P
Inside the central tunnel
Including a Ray family too!
Nah nah you can't get me!
Sprinkler pipelines are a common sight through the arid lands
There are quackers here too!
Checking out Arabian sweets in the supermarkets
and home to the Palace old town
At the other end of the tunnel!
