massive viewing tank in the hotel...i mean MASSIVE. it's 3 stories tall and holds some 11 million liters of water.

all the tanks are meant to look like the lost ruins of Atlantis, very cool

and an entourage of rays in flight

image
the tank is so huge and I was shocked they actually have a young whale shark in it! i learned more about this unusual sighting:


image
the aquarium, or 'lost chambers', carried the Atlantis theme with all kind of artifacts and machinery

image
Rory is um...testing the environment suits for leaks?

sunrise over The Palm

Burge Dubai, the tallest building in the world

    Great photos! I'm so jealous of your trip. Seems like it was awesome. I love the clown fish pic, thanks! Makes me miss my little clowney.

    Very Nice shots. I have no idea how you got that entire building into one shot like that. Glad it was a good time. I can't imagine the waterslide going through a tank
