For our transportation for the day
The Al Arab and the clear seas
They can all be found in one collective area
Jeff hitting the waves!
Dune bash dune!
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
With some rather cute welcome camels
The road serving Yas hotel
making our humble exit from the halls
SPLOSSH!
Approaching Yas Island from the freeway
the world's fastest hydraulically-launched roller coaster (Formula Rossa)
The race track and grandstand's a short walk away
To roll!
These palm trees might give a hint...
Some of the great sights along the way
I am in the middle of nowhere!
Excellent sights on the dunes
There is no dune too steep or high!
Lookie out here an ampibious bus!
The inner walkways with the iconic gold palm pillars
Back in Burjuman for supper!
Departing on the train again
And gold souk entrance
Fancy chandeliers in the station
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
In a station
Towards Al Bada'a
Love the airtimes over the dunes!
Commence overground surfacing
Kudos for the metro!
That's all folks!
I wonder why Singapore has a sand shortage...
So much for a metro experience!
view of the central area from the sides
The Dubai Skyline in the distance
The Yas Marina Circuit
Passing by Dusit
There are just oo many of them
Digging the station lighting
besides a smaller green line in the shurbs
Passing by the world trade center
Built by Intamin AG, it reaches a top speed of 240kmph
Visibility is rather good today. No sand storms. :P
Hang loose man!
Overview inside the Marina Circuit Track
Floral patterns constantly line the walls of the mosque
There are many rooms of interest
The track grounds and sunset from Yas Hotel
Here we are at the boutique shops
