Dubai

One of the days I rented a car and drove to Dubai.  It's about 1.5 hours away.  My biggest event was visiting the Burj Dubai which is the tallest building in the world.  It opened on January 5th and I went in it on the 9th.

I had to tilt my camara to fit the building in a picture.

Driving to Dubai.  Notice the palm trees in the desert.  Abu Dhabi has plenty of money to waste on things like greenery in a desert.

Dubai has built a place called Palms Jumeirah.  It is a property on the sea that is shaped like a palm tree.  I drove on it just so I say I was there.   It's mostly private property so I couldn't park and go onto any of the beaches.

This is the Atlantis hotel on the end of the palms
