Craig at Bab Al Shams HotelПросмотров: 664Our 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.%121 %20, %2005

Marjorie Descends the StairsПросмотров: 716This 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.%121 %20, %2005

Lanters at the Bab al ShamsПросмотров: 743As Marjorie and I went off to have an evening cocktail, these lanterns in a small courtyard were turned on, and it was quite magical.%121 %20, %2005

Burj al Arab HotelПросмотров: 743The 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.%121 %20, %2005

Interior of Burj al Arab HotelПросмотров: 4562There's a light show in the evening in the tall, open atrium of the Burj al Arab hotel, with things projected on the inside of the large Kevlar "sail" that makes up one side of the hotel.%121 %20, %2005

Marjorie Pushing The Flower CartПросмотров: 921It was amazing how many fresh flowers there were at the Burj al Arab Hotel, and they were changed frequently.%121 %20, %2005

Dar Al Masyaf - Night TimeПросмотров: 973This 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!%121 %20, %2005

Waiting to Go In The Submarine to DinnerПросмотров: 839In the Burj al Arab, the seafood restaurant is supposedly below the sea. To get there, you take a "submarine" that's more like a Disneyland ride. I'm in the holding area, waiting for our "submarine" to arrive. The restaurant has a huge fish tank, so it's like eating (I guess) underwater.%121 %20, %2005

Our Bathtub -- Burj al Arab HotelПросмотров: 5146Our suite (all rooms at the Burj al Arab Hotel are suites) covered two floors, with a long curving staircase connecting the floors. We had a large shower and a big round bath tub, complete with a painting of Dubai.%121 %20, %2005

Dar Al Masyaf - DaytimeПросмотров: 853The 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.%121 %20, %2005
