Madinat Souk At Night593 viewsThe streaks in the water are the lights from the small water taxis.

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.

Burj al Arab Hotel511 viewsHere the Kevlar "sail" is in its blue-green period.

Marjorie Sunbating in Dubai499 viewsSitting by the pool at the Dar Al Masyaf hotel in Dubai -- the palm trees reflected in her sunglasses.

Lunch at Bab al Shams493 viewsIt's great to eat outdoors -- something we don't do that often in England. Marjorie enjoying lunch on our first day at Bab al Shams, in the desert.

Rooftop Garden at the Bab Al Shams Hotel437 viewsMarjorie standing by the fire. The Bab Al Shams is out in the Dubai desert, and it gets quite cold at night.

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!
