Our Bedroom at the Burj al Arab -- Dubai1058 katseluaWith 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.

Rooftop Garden at the Bab Al Shams Hotel1037 katseluaMarjorie standing by the fire. The Bab Al Shams is out in the Dubai desert, and it gets quite cold at night.

Marjorie Descends the Stairs1013 katseluaThis 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.

Marjorie Waiting for Dinner1012 katseluaWe 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.

Burj al Arab Hotel at Night999 katseluaThe 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.

Burj al Arab Hotel -- Looking Up994 katseluaThe 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.

Our Suite in the Burj al Arab988 katseluaThis 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.

Burj al Arab Hotel981 katseluaThe 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.
