There's plenty of space for everyone alike
twin beach resorts by the beach line
A deserted amusement park nearby
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
And the next highlight of our trip!

The Jumeirah mosque

Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
And is rather extensively used by the locals

And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea

The Mercato Mall
Another mosuqe down the street.

Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned

Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times
The Arab gulf and beach from the road

Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
which can snake on for ages!
which links right to the Arabian gulf
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
The creek side Dhow markets
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
The shack to the beach
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
offering views of the distant skyline
Gold glitters on every store front
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
Strolling down the street shops
As well a fountains you can fall right into
More cushy seating by the oasis
Beats the posh large malls which Dubai is known for
Technology changing with the times
The notorious creek river taxis
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Shaun + snowboard can only mean...
