Our trip to Atlantis. We spent the day at the water park and then went to the lost chambers (the aquarium). And then later this same night we went on our dhow dinner cruise with a friend of Larry's from work.
A view back towards the city from out on the crescent where the Atlantis is located.
A shot of the hotel. Dani going down... forget the name of the ride. Drops straight down and goes through a shark tank.
Some photos of the baby whale shark that is still under heavy scrutiny.
Dani and Elle posing in some of the "Lost Chambers" artifacts from Atlantis.
Here are some photos from our dhow dinner cruise. A dhow is an old wooden boat. These are still made in Dubai by hand.
Another day we went on the Big Bus Tour of the older section of Dubai.
A back view of 2 big buses. Merchandise sitting on the docks from dhow boats.
The old souk in Bur Dubai.
A view down the creek while crossing in an abra (water taxi). Mom and I walking in the Bastakiya area of Dubai - an old area that wasn't torn down (as they do with most old things here).
Another view from the big bus. Statues at the Wafi shopping center that has an Egyptian theme.
Random photo of Dani and Elle going to school. I think this was taken on my parents first day here.
A visit to Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world. It is still under construction.
More later....
