Dubai

Here are some photos from Satish's visit to Dubai.
This is Jumeriah Beach.
Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates on the Arabian Peninsula.
Dubai is a City built for Tourism with excellent Hotels, Resorts, Shopping and Sports facilities available throughout the year. Dubai is similar to Vegas in that it is a man made wonder built in the middle of a dessert.

...and the building keeps growing. Satish said it was difficult to take a picture without a crane in frame.
Behind Satish is the Burj Al Arab hotel. This unique sail shaped building stands on a man-made island some 280 metres offshore, linked to the mainland by a gently curving causeway. At 321 metres high, the hotel is taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 60 metres shorter than the Empire State Building, the world's tallest hotel building. The hotel is a landmark and icon on the Dubai skyline...Whoa!

Honey, next visit to Dubai - TAKE YOUR WIFE ALONG!
