Majestic Atlantis @ Palm Jumeira Dubai







Atlantis Hotel at man made Jumeira Palm

that cost 950 million pound.










Impressed with the Atlantis and its surrounding !











Dubai Mall & The Aquarium

the DHS 417K car....
the aquarium





Gold Souk was really grand!





world largest indoor aquarium


All I can say is the mall was HUGE!
The aquarium was the largest that I have ever seen!

The mall is right next to the world tallest building in Dubai which will be ready in Sept 2009.
Over 1200 shops and make sure you carry your wallet around as there's a lot to shop for. :P


My favourite place was the food court!
The food court was nice, you can sit @ the balcony and watched the man made water fall . I got headache just to see the water fall's and had to swap chairs with hubby :P

But don't worry, it's still nice to sit outside as the weather is slightly cooler.

We didn't browse the entire shops as the feet is screaming for mercy , we stop for coffee at 2nd cup and off to the city centre.


Enjoy the picture!

Happy Holiday

Atlantis Dubai


We've got 4days holiday in total plus the weekend being the National day .
It's time to plan a trip to Dubai again perhaps tomorrow morning.
We might visit the Atlantis Dubai at Palm Jumeirah. Last Saturday, they spend 20million on its grand opening gala mostly on fireworks and jetting celebs from around the world. It has 2000 rooms.
Naturally, the price of this hotel is not cheap, starting from $1000 per night.
The world largest Dubai Mall has just open recently. With over 1200 shops and having the world largest indoor aquarium. Sounds interesting.

Blue Mosque

I can see the domes of the Blue mosque from where I stand.


During the Byzantine Era there was a hippodrome near the Blue Mosque with a capacity of 10,000 people. In 1606, Sultan Ahmet wanted to build a mosque bigger, more majestic and more beautiful than the Saint Sophia Church, and he did indeed build a mosque; you will be the one to judge which one is more impressive.
The Blue mosque is called "Sultan Ahmet Camii" in Turkish, which means the Mosque of Sultan Ahmet. The mosque was built in the classic Ottoman style and is located just in front of Saint Sophias' Church the Sultan Ahmet district of Istanbul. Mosques were generally built to be used as a public service for the citizens.
There are some buildings near the Blue mosque which include a theology school, a Turkish bath, a kitchen that used to serve soup for the poor, and shops. The shops would provide revenue for maintaining the mosque.
The Blue mosque, as the name implies, was decorated with blue tiles and also glass-work with the same color. There are no images or statues inside the mosque since Islam forbids praying to images of any kind.
Before entering the mosque you should take your shoes off. You should not wear miniskirts, shorts, or very low neckline dresss. The staff at the mosque will give you a wrap-round shawl cover yourself if they find your clothing is not appropriate for the mosque.

I've got 2 text messages from a friend this morning. Asking whether I was still in bed or have I been shopping? It was like 7.30am and I thought who in the right mind would go shopping at this hour?.:P
So I replied I am still running around in my pyjamas trying to fixed myself some breakfast.


Anyway, to cut long story short, I 've got another text inviting me for a cuppa. So I have to cancel my shoppings today.
It was good to see Rina there too. We have not seen each other for a while..we had a good chat. She had a baby boy.

Many thanks to Freda for inviting me and showing me some of her beautiful paintings too.

Oh well, it's almost 11pm now, I am sleepy. Good night....!
