2 sides of a reflections by the bay
500N of raw plane thrust. :3
5AED will bring you a mad dash across the creek
A button inside activates an exterior bus stopping light for drivers
A deserted amusement park nearby
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
A little hut by the walk
A marina sits just off the shopping center
A rather modern looking mosque on the islands
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
adding to the resort feel
ahhh, the sun, sand, sea...
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
All overlooked by the behemoth ski slope
allowing small river taxi cruises to serve guests
Also, with a man-made river
An assortment of unpounded spices
An atrium in the Emirates mall
An eyptian themed hotel!
An uncompleted monorail station
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
and is home to a number of yachts
And is rather extensively used by the locals
and it's own ski lift too!
And outside!
And ski resort
And the next highlight of our trip!
And we are in Dubai!
Another mosuqe down the street.
Anubite statues can only mean...
As well a fountains you can fall right into
At Burjuman center for our Big Bus tour!
At the end, destination, Atlantis!
Atlantis front porch
Awesome plane belly cam on the city approach
Back in Burjuman for supper!
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Back on the boogie bus!
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
beside it is the Jumeirah beach hotel
Bow to the Zorb ball
But first! Lunch!
But first, the Burj Al Arab up close!
but it's not oridinary giant sail... :3
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Cafes by the river
Catching a bus back from the street...
Checking out the heartlander's shopping arcades
Close up of a Dhow boat by the lake
Complete with a full ski slope!
