All
complete with horses
and tiny tents...
which you can never fit into...
Each item is all properly elaborated with an info display
It's just like being at the desert again!
Follow the sands and it will lead you to the beach!
Offering breathtaking sights of the Abu Dhabi skyline
Including the Emirates palace hotel in the distance
Excellent chill out spot
complete with random boat!
Jeff by the bay
A small berth serving the center
See the hotel?
Oh yes of course!
Thankful for shade!
Back into the village!
Presenting to you...
Rather interesting smiley looking fountain!
An Arabian engineering contraption on display
Which uses gravity to pull items on land
A small stream and park by the end of the site
There are quackers here too!
Boat building courtyard
A small market area
Yup, as the sign says...
Giant coffee pot= win!
A housing area
Inside the compound
Traditional Arabian boats on display
All laid by the bay side
Spotted a stretch hummer on our way back to the Marina mall.
The entrance of the Marina mall
Overlooking the bus bays
Inside the mall which everyone's talking about
The mall has many of these tall spire tent thingies
Not to mention fountains to go with the theme too
The place is nicely themed
With a good mix of artifical and ambient light
Really digging this cavernous central area
A mix of modern and aquatic feel
The tower leading up to the overhead tower
The mall is at most 2 floors high in most areas
And of course, no marina mall is complete without dolphins!
On the bus towards the palace!
The Emirates palace hotel that is!
Only we can't exaclty go in!
But the exterior views is all we need. :P
The hotel entrance
Closeup of the front facade
We even made some new friends!
