Trip to Dubaï (pictures)

 

In February, my company offered me to go spend the week-end in Dubai.

We stayed in a hotel in Dera. The hotel was ok but the hotel’s bar was full of prostitute. We did not expect that, but it was funny to have a look at this “business”.

We had dinner at the Radisson, fresh seafood, it was nice but quite expensive.

The following day, we walked in the old Dubai and went to main tourist venues (the Atlantis, Burj Dubai, shopping malls,…).

Dubai is like any major western city except it is located in the Middle East. I personally have not found much interest in he city.

Burj Dubai : the tallest tower in the world (more than 800m)

Yes this is Dubai (it’s actually a shopping center, the mercato)

Inside the mercato

The Atlantis from Palm Jumairah

The Atlantis from seaside

 

 

These two pictures are from the Atlantis aquarium. The Atlantis is a luxury hotel in Palm Jumairah but this area (a kind of mall) is accessible to the general public. The aquarium is huge. The fish you can see on the second pic is a whale shark !
