Burj al Arab Hotel2321 x bekekenThe Burj al Arab Hotel -- Tower of the Arabs -- rises above the Madinat Jumeirah. We spent our first night in Dubai at the Burj al Arab, and then spent three nights in a villa suite in Dar Al Masyaf, part of the Madinat Jumeirah. (I found this part confusing, too.)

Camel Parade Number 19010 x bekekenA bit like the Cow Parade that we saw in New York City. The Dar Al Masyaf had many camels throughout the gardens, all painted with a different theme. This camel has a Dubai theme.

Marjorie in the Garden4832 x bekekenA date palm garden in an inner courtyard at the Bab Al Shams Hotel, in the desert in Dubai.

Camel Parade Number 24822 x bekekenAnother camel in the Camel Parade, in the gardens of the Dar Al Masyaf hotel.

|
A Fire Pit in the Bab al Shams Hotel1885 x bekekenIt gets cold on the desert at night, so the Bab Al Shams Hotel had this large fire pit that they lit every evening. Marjorie is relaxing on the right, a bit like Rousseau's Sleeping Gypsy.

The View from Our Boat Stop910 x bekekenDar Al Masyaf villas in Dubai. We moved from one place to another in the small boats.

Marjorie in the Al Quasr Hotel Lobby519 x bekekenWith a huge ball of white roses behind her.

Marjorie Waiting for the Boat472 x bekekenOur boat stop at the Dar Al Masyaf hotel. This was very close to the room, so I could hobble to it and jump on a boat. The boat would take us to virtually anywhere in the resort. What a way to commute.

Fruit and Veg -- Dubai Style3373 x bekekenThis huge display of fresh fruit and veg was at the entrance to the desert restaurant -- built to look like an old fort -- at the Bab al Shams Hotel.
|
|
Burj al Arab Hotel477 x bekekenWith 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.
|
|
Al Quasr Hotel Lobby689 x bekekenPart (confusingly) of the Madinat Jumeirah Hotel. This huge chandelier was very impressive -- it looked almost like a space ship.

Craig Exploring Dubai403 x bekekenWith my painful foot, most of my travel in Dubai was motorised. What an old man!
