Approaching Yas Island from the freeway
These palm trees might give a hint...
making our humble exit from the halls
Some of the great sights along the way
The road serving Yas hotel
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
With some rather cute welcome camels
They can all be found in one collective area
The Al Arab and the clear seas
Dune bash dune!
Apparently this brings you out the Arabian gulf
For our transportation for the day
SPLOSSH!
View of the roof candelier
And connects to the main building via it's station here
Spare tire - Check!
and it is also home to...
To roll!
Now for a visit to the race track!
Jeff hitting the waves!
Once alls here, the dune bashing will begin in a convoy
The strong winds make real nice ripples over the sand
Sand Drifting!
Hitting the metro into the city!
The red metro line is the only main operational line
The trains are surprising spacious
It gets 3 meters in depth by the end of the wave pool
The galleries to the washing areas
and has space for a total of 40,000 devotees
Just like this convoy here
Staring into the wilderness
Try sliding 80kmph on the Jumeirah Sceirah
The dunes can be rather rough at times, like a free range roller coaster!
The atrium from inside
The cars can lean 40 degrees on each side at times!
Catching a bus back from the street...
This one jumps too!
Few passing "tourists"
Want something else with more cojones? :P
Not that I am complaining!
Entrance to the circuit
The Burjuman center in the early mornings
Anything with a dolphin rocks!
With several walk through displays to offer
The nearby Yas island hotels
A small market area
A view so unreal...
Gravity is lower here!
Random chicks in a desert - Check!
Sand sand sand sand
