Dubai Pictures

View from the creek at some interesting Dubai Architechture.

Our Dhow. It was a Majalis Dhow, so you sit on the floor with small tables on the roof of the boat. Really cool.


Dubai Museum. It is located in the Mid-1700's fort that was the beginning of the city.


Hofbrauhaus.


Water Taxis (Abras) ferry people across the creek. There are 100's of these things. It costs 1 AED to ride across the creek (About 28 cents). They put about 20-25 people on these things.


Carol and I at the Burj Al Arab.



This is as close as we got to the Burj Al Arab. Notice the "Right of Admission Reserved" sign...and the secret service style security guards.

In Ski Dubai they had a snack bar built out of ice. I thought this was a great way to showcase the candy bars they had for sale. They were encased in a block of ice...how cool is that?


This is from the top of the slope. When it doglegs right, it is about the same distance from me to the lodge than it is from the lodge to the bottom of the slope.

The Souqs on a "Quiet" friday morning.
