Around Burj Al Arab10/09/09

Today I went down to check out the area around the Burj Al Arab. This is Dubai's signature building and a 5 star hotel with sail like shapes.

But first, here is a photo of me next to rhinestone camel. Seeing to be quite fitting for Dubai as they are really into camels and glittery type stuff.

Here is a view of the Burj Al Arab from this mall-like pseudo Souk called the Souk Madinat Jumeirah. It looks like the buildings in the foreground are going to be attacked by the crazy building in the back. A bit of a contrast in architecture.

We also walked by this advertisement for Ramadan Apps. Not sure exactly what this is but whatever it is it must be unique to this part of the world.

We walked over to this beach near the Burj Al Arab called Kite Beach as the sun was going down.

And here is a picture of the Burj Al Arab from Kite Beach.

Are you still there or have you returned to Oz?
