← Travel Box Adventures in Dubai!! (Part 4)

Photos from our Travels!

The Sheikh and the Shaykhah require further refreshment.

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 design inspired by both nature and culture.

What’s a mall without an aquarium, amirite?

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

The model in the lobby of the tower.

My Muslimina wife!

What a futuristic looking building!

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

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.

Even the windows of the Grand Mosque were amazing!

And we didn’t even get wet!

Started from the bottom…

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

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

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 view was so much that I needed a quick nap!

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

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

“NO TOUCHING!!” in 3, 2, 1…

Juxtaposition!

Right inside the Grand Mosque

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.

Champagne pouring skill: Level 99.

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.

From the Earth to the sky.

Looking down at the Burj Khalifa Lake.

A little cartoon guy!

The Grandest of Mosques.

The UAE Heritage Village!

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!

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

You can literally see for miles.

Now we’re here!
