Camel Parade Number 19194 viewsA 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.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel2443 viewsThe 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.)Dec 20, 2005

Underwater Seafood Restaurant -- Burj al Arab Hotel5685 viewsThe view from our table at the underwater seafood restaurant. I don't think we were really underwater, but there was a large tank of salt water fish to keep us entertained as we ate their cousins.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel -- Looking Up630 viewsThe strange structure sticking out of the hotel is a restaurant and bar: there are photos that we took at night from this bar in the photo gallery.Dec 20, 2005

Burj al Arab Hotel at Night664 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 Dinner670 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 Arab680 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 Hotel629 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 Stairs676 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 Shams671 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 Hotel687 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
