Grand Mosque star

Photos from our Travels!

You can literally see for miles.

This is the interior of the Skyview Bar. To me, it reminded me of the 60’s, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit like Don Draper from Mad Men while we were here.

A little cartoon guy!

Champagne pouring skill: Level 99.

A design inspired by both nature and culture.

My Muslimina wife!

Granny’s Waffles: Only in Dubai, it’s waffle-rageous!

From the Earth to the sky.

The UAE Heritage Village!

This is an unobstructed view of the coast of Dubai as seen from the Skyview Lounge. I enjoyed this view even more than the view from the Burj Khalifa, since we were out past the coastline.

The view was so much that I needed a quick nap!

We both waffled on what to order, but in the end I got the Strawberries and White Chocolate, while Meka got the Granny’s Favorite: Bananas and Caramel.

Sadly, my hopes were crushed when I found out there were no lemon bars here.

The model in the lobby of the tower.

An army of nutcrackers awaited us inside the lobby of the Burj Al Arab. Luckily, they were only a display, or else nuts everywhere would have fled before their might.

The detail on the ceiling, walls, and floor is remarkable!

Right inside the Grand Mosque

And we didn’t even get wet!

A front view of the Grand Mosque.

The Burj Al-Arab, a great place to stay when your palace is being renovated.

Before entering the Skyview Lounge, guests walk through this tunnel. I’m not sure about the significance, other than it’s jaw-droppingly cool and makes you feel like your stepping into another dimension.

Me in front of Mosque.

This is a fountain in The Souk that I thought was beautiful.

When I went up I heard the theme song from Rocky. But in Arabic.

Nin-Nin

Looking down at the Burj Khalifa Lake.

The Grandest of Mosques.

Started from the bottom…

Even the windows of the Grand Mosque were amazing!

Afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab is not like high tea anywhere else. Here at the top of the 4th tallest hotel in the world, you have Sky High Tea!

What’s a mall without an aquarium, amirite?

“NO TOUCHING!!” in 3, 2, 1…

The Sheikh and the Shaykhah require further refreshment.

Walking into the Grand Mosque

What a futuristic looking building!

Jackson

And he would have been more than happy to sell it to me!

Juxtaposition!

Now we’re here!
