These are pix on Palm Jumeirah. This is Abd's Uncle's house.
This is the view across the "frond" (branch of the palm). All that construction will be high rise apt buildings..I think? It goes on 24 hours/day, but you really can't hear anything from the house.
This is the Atlantis hotel. There is only one other one in the Bahamas. It has a water park in it. We have tried to go there, but it was so packed they were parking on the street and walking (in the 100F heat!) to the hotel...um..no thanks, we'll wait. There is a huge controversy right now because they caught a whale shark off the coast. They said that she was "struggling to survive" and therefore they brought it to their facilities. Now she is part of the exhibits and they are refusing to let her go back into the wild even though there are constant petitions and experts saying that she will not survive.
You are going to love this...See this building...It is an AIR CONDITIONER!!! One of about 4 (that I saw) that is used for cooling buildings on the Palm.
