In the Arabian Gulf.
This past weekend we had the opportunity to view Dubai from a new perspective: the water! We took a two hour sunset boat cruise with Seven Seas Marine.
Seeing the landmarks we’ve all come accustomed to from a new angle felt like quite the treat. Highlights included the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis. Although we were initially told we’d tour the World Islands, boats aren’t allowed to cruise very close. All we could see was a streak of beige on the horizon. A sheik somewhat recently built a palace there and subsequently “put security around ‘The World.'” At least that’s what we were told…

We purchased our cruise via GoNabIt, a group-buying site for the Middle East. Have you joined a group-buying site where you live?
You all make it seem like it’s a cool day, but how hot is it there usually? How hot was it on this day?
Looks like fun! I totally want to come visit.
It was only about 100F (38C). There was a nice (though warmish) breeze on the water so it wasn’t too bad. Tomorrow’s high is 111F (44C)… and it just keeps getting hotter!
You should definitely come check it out… in a cooler month!
wow, such wonderful views!
awesome post. great pictures.
