Madinat Souk590 viewsWith the small water taxis in the foreground. Quite a sophisticated and relaxing way to get around, even for me (since I can't walk more than about 10 feet at a time.)

Sunrise at Bab al Shams560 viewsSunrise on our last morning at Bab al Shams, before heading to Dubai Airport to catch our flight back to a cold and rainy England.

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

Craig at Bab Al Shams Hotel398 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.

Burj al Arab Hotel392 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.

Dar Al Masyaf - Night Time382 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!
