Is that a mini desert I see?
A scorpion!
The Medinat Jumeriah
The Ablution central drinking fountain
Ahem, Sawfish?
The entrance of the hotel
I spy fishies which are jelly
Nomage!
leading to the hotel restaurant and cafes
which serves as an alternative transport to the hotel itself
The front ticketing area
O rly?
Bobble bobble bobble
Inside the compound
The Wadi wadi waterpark, we will be visiting soon
A Squatiniforme or angel shark I reckon?
More pots to keep you all pottery
Rawr human! feed me!
The displays snake through rather well rainforest themed areas
It's a Bedouin-style Arabic camp, like a desert oasis in the middle of nowhere!
Digging the Eastern Corniche road
Diggin the desert sunsets
Roaches
But first! Lunch!
Tranquility at it's best
The view of the mall atrium
Open air seating areas facing the sea
will tned to induce subliminal Prince of Persia climbing urges
The palace in the distant background
The river taxi boarding point
Niffy Arabian theming by the bay side
Not everyday where you get a desert by your butt
The Medina Jumeirah main promenade
complete with it's own giant sail!
I don't see any gecko here
The boat takes you over few crossings along the river
Various constrictors in enclosures
The view is shaun approved!
manmade rocks by the bay, like real!
Says the simley too!
It even has a heli pad on the roof!
Oh wow!
oh look an oilrig. *kaching* :P
We came over that hill, but it looked so different from here
It's essentially an aquarium and mini zoo right in the mall
Sun bathing lazy bums... :p
An aerial view from our vantage knoll
It's not easy being a fish here. :p
The tower never needs to hide
Stag bettles
