Jumeirah Al Qsar-Sunday, April 19

View from our room

Our hotel is amazing. The hotel is famous because its architecture resembles the Sheik's summer residence. Our room faces the ocean and beautiful pools. To the right of our hotel is the Burj Al Arab Hotel. To the left is the man made Palm island with the Atlantis Hotel.


There are 4 hotels connected by a walkway or boat taxi. Throughout the day the boat taxis go by full of guests from the surrounding hotels. Between the hotels and along the walkway are stores and stores and stores! In fact they are called Souks.


Straight in front of our room is the pool, beach and one of the famous seafood restaurant. At night, it is lit up so beautifully! Dubai feels like Vegas and Miami. But on the other hand, the nightlife is quiet and understated. Dubai is a Muslim country therefore drinking is prohibited. Yet Dubai is a very modern Muslim country. So there is alcohol served at some dinners and clubs after a certain time. In fact, the government says 1 drink is too many to drive. There is NO tolerance for drinking and driving.
