Marjorie Waiting for the Boat307 viewsOur 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.Dec 20, 2005

A Fire Pit in the Bab al Shams Hotel1763 viewsIt 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.Dec 20, 2005

Camel Parade Number 24637 viewsAnother camel in the Camel Parade, in the gardens of the Dar Al Masyaf hotel.Dec 20, 2005

Marjorie in the Garden4561 viewsA date palm garden in an inner courtyard at the Bab Al Shams Hotel, in the desert in Dubai.Dec 20, 2005

Camel Parade Number 18842 viewsA 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.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel2160 viewsThe 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.)Dec 20, 2005

Underwater Seafood Restaurant -- Burj al Arab Hotel5398 viewsThe view from our table at the underwater seafood restaurant. I don't think we were really underwater, but there was a large tank of salt water fish to keep us entertained as we ate their cousins.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel -- Looking Up316 viewsThe strange structure sticking out of the hotel is a restaurant and bar: there are photos that we took at night from this bar in the photo gallery.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel at Night352 viewsThe Burj al Arab Hotel rises from the Arabian Sea. The Madinat Jumeirah Hotel is on the right. You get from one part of this large property to another by boat: the streaks below the Burj al Arab Hotel are the lights from one of the boats.Dec 20, 2005

Marjorie Waiting for Dinner362 viewsWe were going to the "underwater" seafood restaurant in the Burj al Arab hotel. You need to wait in this area for your "submarine" (a bit of a Disney-esque ride) to take you underwater and out into the ocean to the submerged restaurant.Dec 20, 2005
