Burj al Arab Hotel2160 kez bakıldıThe Burj al Arab Hotel -- Tower of the Arabs -- rises above the Madinat Jumeirah. We spent our first night in Dubai at the Burj al Arab, and then spent three nights in a villa suite in Dar Al Masyaf, part of the Madinat Jumeirah. (I found this part confusing, too.)

Camel Parade Number 18842 kez bakıldıA bit like the Cow Parade that we saw in New York City. The Dar Al Masyaf had many camels throughout the gardens, all painted with a different theme. This camel has a Dubai theme.

A Fire Pit in the Bab al Shams Hotel1763 kez bakıldıIt gets cold on the desert at night, so the Bab Al Shams Hotel had this large fire pit that they lit every evening. Marjorie is relaxing on the right, a bit like Rousseau's Sleeping Gypsy.

Marjorie Waiting for the Boat307 kez bakıldıOur boat stop at the Dar Al Masyaf hotel. This was very close to the room, so I could hobble to it and jump on a boat. The boat would take us to virtually anywhere in the resort. What a way to commute.

Fruit and Veg -- Dubai Style3187 kez bakıldıThis huge display of fresh fruit and veg was at the entrance to the desert restaurant -- built to look like an old fort -- at the Bab al Shams Hotel.

Burj al Arab Hotel324 kez bakıldıWith the Madinat Jumeirah "souk" to the right. This isn't a souk like the traditional souks in Istanbul and Aman, but isn't a shopping centre either. It's quite spectacular.

|
Al Quasr Hotel Lobby557 kez bakıldıPart (confusingly) of the Madinat Jumeirah Hotel. This huge chandelier was very impressive -- it looked almost like a space ship.
