Dubai/UAE Photo Dump

Massive DXB photo dump from when Laur was in town. Focus on "old Dubai" which interests me far more than "new" Dubai.

Full Album - Dubai Creek & Souks (Textile, Spice & Gold)

Bastikiya - one of the oldest residential districts of Dubai. Used to house wealthy merchants & people in the pearl industry, now houses cafes, art galleries & cultural museums.

Dolphin Bay @ Atlantis on the Palm Jumeirah

Visiting the dolphins at the Atlantis resort in Dubai...
Interesting, but quite possibly not quite worth the fee.  The waterpark there (Aquaventure) is pretty fun as well.
