Parents in Dubai - 12 Feb 2009

As dad hasn't been to DXB, so took the opportunity to take him and mom to tour DXB for a day. Started off in Madinat Jumeirah - the usual Arabic heritage style - where there's man made lake / river (then you will have the arabic "gondola" to stroll you around) - coupled with 3 hotels in different locations and some shopping. That day was quite foggy so unfortunately Burj Al Arab couldn't be seen quite clearly. If you squint your eyes in the pics, probably you could spot it :)

Inside Madinat : souk design...
Gondola : Hahaha.a....the arabic name is called ABRA...

Dad and I....final shot in Madinat Jumeirah.....

What a BIG CROCS !!!!!

The part-of-the-must-see tour for my visitors : BURJ AL ARAB....a bit foggy that day....so not so clear...

Dad enjoying inside Jumeirah Beach Hotel....

At the entrance of Atlantis . Atlantis is located at the crescent of the Palms......The hotel honestly doesn't look too impressive outside, maybe of the fading colour.....but the aquarium inside is fabulous....At the centre after the entrance of the hotel.....

But I"m totally impressed with the Lost Chambers : the Aquarium....Well according to people who have gone in Lost Chambers (entrance DHS 100) it's not that worth it to go in. This aquarium is viewed from outside...saw a couple of fishes upfront which was totally nice.....
Also Atlantis has a themepark, equivalent to Sunway Lagoon costing DH285 (RM270) and if you would like to be PERSONAL with the dolphin for 45mins, yeah the cost is also very personal :P (DH 840)






The KING and QUEEN....















Big Stingray!!!!
