Dubai Marina

During Eid the pool at the Montgomerie was closed as they were fixing the tiles.  Therefore we were allowed to use the pool of one of the hotels in the Dubai Marina.  The pool is a few floors up and it is really quite amazing to swim between all these high buildings and see the boats below.



Below a Google Earth picture taken in 2006, just as we had arrived in Dubai


And here a Google Earth picture taken in August 2009 (4 years later).  Look at the amount of new building on either side of the Sheikh Zayed Road, amazing!
