Incredible Dubai


Yes the Dubai skyline is incredible!  When we walked into our room at the Raffles Dubai, the curtains automatically opened revealing this view!  Wow!

It never disappointed....
Burj Kalifa - the tallest building in the world 
The building on the left is supposed to be reminiscent of praying hands.
I think the only rule is 'No completely rectangular buildings allowed.' 
This one reminded us of Singapore.
Burj Al Arab - probably the most iconic of all Dubai buildings .  It is a hotel and the cheapest rooms start at about $1000 per night.  The Royal Suite is $24,000 per night and it even comes with its own butler.  
Palm Jumeirah - a man made island with hotels, restaurants, homes, and even a monorail!
Nope not the Bahamas - Atlantis Hotel out on Palm Jumeirah
Some of the private homes on Palm Jumeirah.  Prices start at about  $1.6 million for a small one - but hey, each one has a private beach! And David Beckham might be your neighbor!!!
On Palm Jumeirah, the overpass is supported by man made trees!  
Dubai just doesn't seem to know how to do anything that is ordinary!
