All
no palace is complete without large flight of steps!
adding to the resort feel
The hotel from the river
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
allowing small river taxi cruises to serve guests
Scenic views from the balcony
Open air seating areas facing the sea
View of the Madinat Jumeirah Resort
It's an international buffet spread!
the restaurant seating areas
The hotel central stairwell
leading to the hotel restaurant and cafes
The entrance of the hotel
More cushy seating by the oasis
Yesh! only a dinky 5 stars?
The hotel front porch
Is this the tropics?
The Al Qasr entrance
Some of the many fountains in the open
the Al Arab overlooks all
more of the souk
Posh seating over the bridge
It's essentially a souk (market)
The view of the Medina Jumeirah
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
Looks rather Ferrari-rish
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
Gideyap!
The horses are Arabian?
The Entrada del Hotel Al Qasr!

golden horses, which can only mean...
Not too far off is another pretty site...
Look how long that exterior gate is!
Some of the huge houses by Sufouh Road
beside it is the Jumeirah beach hotel
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
It even has a heli pad on the roof!
The white sandy public beaches
Specifically the Burj Al Arab, a 7 star hotel
The Al Arab from the Jumeirah beachline
twin beach resorts by the beach line
And the next highlight of our trip!
Another mosuqe down the street.
Back on the boogie bus!
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
A button inside activates an exterior bus stopping light for drivers
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
Oh a dolphinarium!
