UAE - Dubai - Wafi, Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach
Hello again!! I'm going to cheat here and put three posts in one.. I've realized that I don't have that many "postable" pictures of Dubai.
The first set of pictures are from a place called Wafi. The whole area has the ancient Egypt theme.. There's a Wafi mall (full of expensive things).. Wafi restaurants.. a cinema.. spa, gym, pools.. sauna.. everything.
My cousin's have a membership for the gym so I was fortunate enough to enjoy the swimming pools.. Oh.. they have a cool pool called the lazy river. Basically, you just lie on a tube.. or float on your back and let water currents take you down a windy stream.. I went around a few times looking very silly, but very contented in a tiny tube thing.
The first few pictures are of Wafi at night.. I think we were invited to eat at one of the restaurants..
Even the parking garage has the Egyptian theme going..
I think this was the entrance to the mall.. They have cool glass domes.. wish I took a picture of them.
I believe the fellows below the tacky christmas decorations are all part of the royal family.
My sister.. She thinks she's a princess...
The next four pictures are of a place called Madinat Jumeirah. It's been created in the last few years. There's a big hotel.. a large souk area.. some nice canals.. It's very beautiful.. stylish.. and expensive.. but then again.. everything is expensive for me..
I'm sure I took more pictures of this place.. I just can't seem to find them. Oh well..
The last bunch of pictures are from Jumeirah Beach.. yes its right down the road from Madinat Jumeirah.. Property value in Jumeirah has really gone up in the last few years.
The building you are probably looking at is the Burj Al-Arab.. It's a hotel that has been designed to look like the sail of a boat. It's the worlds tallest hotel.. they built it all on reclaimed land.. There are lots of visionaries (crazy people) in dubai.
That's my cousin Ahmed with his goofy cousin.. Thanks for taking me to the beach! :)
