Dubai

Charlie deployed to United Arab Emirates for 5 months. While he was there he was able to take a day trip to Dubai. The tour took him and his co-workers to a water park (not his cup of tea but he enjoyed being away from the base and work for a day). Here are some pictures he took along the way.

This is Dubai Marina Towers.

Not sure if you can see the famous Burj Al Arab hotel here. It resembles a sail. Rooms are $2,000 - $14,000 a night. It's very faint in this picture.

Sorry Charlie, your picture just didn't do it justice so I got this one off the web.

This is the Atlantis Palms Hotel located on the palm tree shaped artificial island built off the coast of Dubai, UAE. Rooms start at $750 a night.

This is an aerial view of the artificial island, The Palms.

Again, sorry Charlie, your picture just didn't capture the true essence of the building.

There were even ski slopes inside the malls.

Maybe Charlie will take me there one day so I can experience it too.
