Dubai For our first wedding anniversary we decided set the bar high and had a long weekend at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai. We had a fantastic time. The seven-star Burj Al Arab Hotel next door was also very impressive.
View The view from our hotel room balcony. I might have done better to have waited until the whole of the grounds were in full sunlight though.

Burj Al Arab The Burj Al Arab Hotel as seen from the harbour wall at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The wing-like feature you can see sticking out of the seaward side of the building is the Al Muntana Skyview Restaurant.

Camel Surprisingly, that's not even a real camel (although I assume that it might have been at some point).
Landcruisers On a desert safari.
Stuck I think they just do this for effect. Still took a while to dig them out though.
Sunset Judith at sunset in the desert.
Landcruisers At least you don't need to worry about getting left behind if your Landcruiser breaks down.
