All
Inside the compound
All laid by the bay side
Spotted a stretch hummer on our way back to the Marina mall.
Overlooking the bus bays
The entrance of the Marina mall
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
Closeup of the front facade
We even made some new friends!
A group we met yesterday in Dubai!
Enroute along Sultan Bin Zayed Street
The roundabout fountain by the palace
The hotel entrance
Niffy!
Houston, seems we hav a problem with the free water bottles
Passing by several interesting buildings alongside
really interesting... architecture
Reaching our highlight of the trip...
Presenting the biggest Mosque in the UAE
The Sheikh Zayed Mosque!
It has a very distinctive pure white look to it
considering it mostly being constructed out of white marble
The right spire
The main front entrance
Let head in!
The views just gets better as you near it
And the matching left!
It's a tranquil sea of white here
You can almost see your face reflecting from the floors
The view from the entrance
And the main building beckons
Cleaners polish the floor almost every other day
Let get some sun!
In the vast open courtyards
The place is surrounded by shrill slience
A considering that it is after all a place of worship
The left wing of the courtyard
Allowing you to thread each step on the open marble courtyard in pure serenity
