Dar Al Masyaf - Daytime1044 katseluaThe view from our "boat stop" on the canal system at the Dar Al Masyaf villas, with Marjorie waiting for the next boat. The top of the Burj al Arab Hotel can just been seen peeking over the top of the Madinat Jumeirah.%20.%12.%2005

Marjorie Enjoying a Mojito878 katseluaWe had our first [url=http://www.bacardimojito.com/]mojito[/ul] cocktails in Havana, where they were invented. But the mojitos at the top of the Burj al Arab Hotel in Dubai were a close second.%20.%12.%2005

"Volcano" at Entrance to Burj al Arab Hotel2684 katseluaThe water "volcano" at the entrance to the Burj al Arab Hotel has a real Las Vegas feeling.%20.%12.%2005

Burj al Arab Cocktail Lounge1821 katseluaWe sat on a bit of a raised platform, and we could see Dubai itself through the windows from our perch.%20.%12.%2005

Our Bedroom at the Burj al Arab -- Dubai1023 katseluaWith a spectacular view over the Arabian Sea. In the distance, they're constructing an artificial series of islands that will look like a palm tree. The palm tree can be seen from space. Nothing half-measure in Dubai.%20.%12.%2005

Burj al Arab Hotel1020 katseluaRising from the Arabian Sea, photographed from the small bridge that is the only access to the hotel.%20.%12.%2005

Dinner at the Bab al Shams837 katseluaWe went to a great outdoors dinner in a "fort" that had been created in the desert. Here's some not-so-flat flatbrad and some great cheese.%20.%12.%2005

|
Bab al Shams Buffet1386 katseluaThe dinner buffet was quite spectacular. On the evening we visited, the desert "fort" was not very crowded, and most of the guests ate early.%20.%12.%2005

Burj al Arab Cocktail Lounge5861 katseluaThis colourful cocktail lounge actually sticks out from near the top of the Burj al Arab hotel. So we were actually hundreds of feet above the Arabian Sea.%20.%12.%2005

Breakfast at the Burj al Arab Hotel5689 katseluaMarjorie having breakfast. We were surrounded by plants from Hawaii (or from tropical islands) like the naupaka. The poor things were struggling: I suspect the humidity is too low in Dubai, or it's too hot -- or both.%20.%12.%2005

|
Atrium of Burj al Arab Hotel5627 katseluaPhotographed from the lower lobby, looking up through the fountains and the large gold columns. They love gold in the Burj al Arab!%20.%12.%2005

Craig and Marjorie Before Dinner1504 katseluaI just held the camera out with one hand and pressed the shutter. My foot really hurt on this whole trip, but if we didn't take the trip ("bought" with British Airways miles) by December 1, we were told we'd lose it. So I took golf carts everywhere, or sat by the pool. Easy, peasy in Dubai.%20.%12.%2005
