Nighttime at Bab al Shams1376 katseluaThe view from the roof terrace overlooking the pool, and looking out over the desert at night.

|
Dar Al Masyaf - Night Time1287 katseluaThis 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!

Marjorie Pushing The Flower Cart1217 katseluaIt was amazing how many fresh flowers there were at the Burj al Arab Hotel, and they were changed frequently.
|
|
Madinat Souk At Night1216 katseluaThe streaks in the water are the lights from the small water taxis.
|
|
Lunch at Bab al Shams1182 katseluaIt'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.

|
Al Quasr Hotel Lobby1166 katseluaPart (confusingly) of the Madinat Jumeirah Hotel. This huge chandelier was very impressive -- it looked almost like a space ship.
|
|
Sunrise at Bab al Shams1159 katseluaSunrise on our last morning at Bab al Shams, before heading to Dubai Airport to catch our flight back to a cold and rainy England.
|
|
Burj al Arab Hotel1097 katseluaHere the Kevlar "sail" is in its blue-green period.
|
|
Burj al Arab Hotel1091 katseluaWith 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.
|
|
Dar Al Masyaf - Daytime1082 katseluaThe 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.

Waiting to Go In The Submarine to Dinner1079 katseluaIn 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.
|
|
Madinat Souk1076 katseluaWith 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.)
