Christmas in Dubai, UAE - Part II

This is a picture of the Atlantis Hotel just before we drove into the tunnel. The picture below is of the Palm Jumeirah, where the Atlantis Hotel is. The hotel is found at the top of the outer ring.  I have included a link to the Palm Jumeirah.  I understand that there are several lovely pieces of property for sale if you are interested.

 This is taken from behind the Atlantis Hotel, looking out to the see.  If you look really carefully, you can sort of see The World Islands. According to Wikipedia,  The World Islands is an artificial archipelago of various small islands constructed in the rough shape of a world map, located 4.0 kilometres (2.5 mi) off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The back of the Atlantis Hotel.

This building is part of the water-park that is part of the Atlantis Hotel complex.  As soon as I save up a spare $7500 I will be able to spend a weekend at the Atlantis and partake of the water-park.  By the time that happens, I will have to ask if they have special water rides for those of us in wheel chairs!

This is one of the "little boats" that was out for a cruise on the Arabian Gulf.

Dubai City as we are returning from Palm Jumeirah.  It is definitely an interesting skyline.
