And is rather extensively used by the locals
The notorious creek river taxis
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Technology changing with the times
The creek side Dhow markets
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
Strolling down the street shops
To the Union area
Hitting the underground metro
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Cool lan gaming centers
A deserted amusement park nearby
which links right to the Arabian gulf
This marina is connected to the main creek
Enjoying the sunset
The marina-side walk

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