Burj al Arab Hotel at Night1037 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 Dinner1045 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

Our Suite in the Burj al Arab1057 viewsThis is another part of our living room in our two-floor suite in the Burj al Arab Hotel -- the Tower of the Arabs. Lots of gold and rich colours.Dec 20, 2005

Craig at Bab Al Shams Hotel1018 viewsOur hotel in the desert, where we spent the last two days of our stay. As I couldn't walk during the trip -- other than very short distances -- I spent a lot of time sitting. A chance for me to catch up on my Sue Grafton mysteries.Dec 20, 2005

Marjorie Descends the Stairs1060 viewsThis curved stairway looks like it is in the hotel lobby. It is, in fact, the stairs that go from one floor of our suite in the Burj al Arab to the other floor. And I gather that we had a "basic" suite. The hotel only has suites.Dec 20, 2005

Lanters at the Bab al Shams1034 viewsAs Marjorie and I went off to have an evening cocktail, these lanterns in a small courtyard were turned on, and it was quite magical.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel1025 viewsThe right side of the hotel --- bathed in purple light --- is made from Kevlar, and is designed to look like a sail. The whole hotel is on a man-made island just offshore in the Arabian Sea. The colours on the side of the hotel change every few minutes.Dec 20, 2005

Our Suite in the Burj al Arab1520 viewsThis is just part of the downstairs living room in our suite. Marjorie is sitting on the couch before we head off for dinner.Dec 20, 2005

Interior of Burj al Arab Hotel4837 viewsThere's a light show in the evening in the tall, open atrium of the Burj al Arab hotel, with things projected on the inside of the large Kevlar "sail" that makes up one side of the hotel.Dec 20, 2005

Marjorie Pushing The Flower Cart1251 viewsIt was amazing how many fresh flowers there were at the Burj al Arab Hotel, and they were changed frequently.Dec 20, 2005

Dar Al Masyaf - Night Time1331 viewsThis is the view from our "boat stop" on the canal system at the Dar Al Masyaf villas. To get to dinner we waited for a boat to pick us up. The ride to the souk only took a few minutes. Now that's civilised!Dec 20, 2005
