nice photoshop jobs; I quite like the second one from the staircase. although I have to say the bubble trail in the last one is a little cheesy.

Isn't this the same aquarium that was stocked with a crap ton of sharks and had troubles with them attacking each other?

thoes look like the ones from the advert for the hotel that the aquarium is in.

as for dubai lots to do, but don't go in the summer unless you like temps of 68 with the humidex. if you like the culture there is loots to see.. from desert bashing with a bedawin (sp) dinner and show at the end) to downhill skiing in the mall. the gold sooke, or any of the sookes for that matter. wild waddis is a must do.. but don't expect to be going to the bar a lot.. while they are there, they are full of hookers, and being drunk is ileagal there.. if you drink in the hotel bar and then go up to your room you will be ok as long as you don't make a disturbance.

There's lots to do and see in Dubai, they have the worlds biggest everything. Only problem is getting there, when I checked the cheapest was around $5,000 for return flights for two people. Hotels are fairly cheap if you stay at the right ones and everything else is likely pretty standard.

If I win the lottery I think I'll buy one of the Canadian islands in the Dubai world

So these are your shots? Some of them look very commercial, good job if that was your intention!

I can't imagine that the rooms with those views wouldn't have been cheap!

No, they are not my shots, a friend emailed me a bunch and I had snaz just take out the ones of the aquarium. They all looked like commercial to me, I just thought some people here would enjoy the water shots.
I would like to go there as well, but money would be a problem.
5000$ to fly? a little much.

They are very cool nonetheless! The 3rd is my favourite, it looks so encompassing!

Thanks for sharing!
