Our Bedroom at the Burj al Arab -- Dubai378 viewsWith 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.

Marjorie in the Al Quasr Hotel Lobby373 viewsWith a huge ball of white roses behind her.

Marjorie on a Camel365 viewsGoing to the desert restaurant at the Bab Al Shams Hotel, Dubai.

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.

Marjorie Enjoying a Mojito354 viewsWe 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.

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.

Lanters at the Bab al Shams350 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.

Burj Al Arab Hotel348 viewsThe Burj Al Arab Hotel towering over the beach at the Madinat Jumeriah Hotel.

Our Suite in the Burj al Arab334 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.

Dar Al Masyaf - Daytime325 viewsThe 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.

|
Burj al Arab Hotel325 viewsWith the Madinat Jumeirah "souk" to the right. This isn't a souk like the traditional souks in Istanbul and Aman, but isn't a shopping centre either. It's quite spectacular.
|
|
Madinat Jumeriah Hotel Pool323 viewsWith one of the many life guards, standing with her floating "rescue" device. (The pool was about five feet deep at its greatest depth.)
