offering views of the distant skyline
But otherwise still traditional Dhows here
Powdered spices, sold in100 grams
Shaun + snowboard can only mean...
The notorious creek river taxis
Gold glitters on every store front
There are quite a number of horses leading to the hotel
Technology changing with the times
A small river runs from the hotel into the souk areas
The Arab gulf and beach from the road
Al Qasr means 'The Palace' in Arabian
Back in the festival city, air-conditioning!
Few of the many mosques along Jumeirah
Much to our delight, bus stops in Dubai are all air-conditioned
The Mercato Mall
Strolling down the street shops
Here we are at the Jumeirah beach park!
No wonder, it's the Gold souk!
The creek side Dhow markets
Another mosuqe down the street.
A glass plane is all that seperates sainty and hypothermia
which links right to the Arabian gulf
which can snake on for ages!
And an observation area overlooking the Arabian sea
Storage by the Dhow and creekside, just like traditional times
The Jumeirah mosque
The open gardens and greenery before the beach
And the next highlight of our trip!
And is rather extensively used by the locals
twin beach resorts by the beach line
Meat from the slab is apparently very popular here
There's plenty of space for everyone alike
A deserted amusement park nearby
except for an occasional boat in the middle of nowhere!
The park's large main circular floyer
Back on the boogie bus!
These cool water dispensers are a real lifesaver in the heat!
Checking out the heartlander's shopping arcades
beside it is the Jumeirah beach hotel
Yesh! only a dinky 5 stars?
The Al Qasr entrance
Back in Burjuman for supper!
Fancy chandeliers in the station
Kudos for the metro!
The trains are surprising spacious
Catching a bus back from the street...
These palm trees might give a hint...
The atrium from inside
That's all folks! Check out other Dubai albums for more!
and it's own ski lift too!
