Modern Dubai City




This is the new Dubai city. It is just next to the old Dubai city. Along this road, you can see many high raise buildings. They are less than 15 years old, and many are still under construction.


This is the old Dubai City. Guess what is the name of this hotel? It is Shangri-la Hotel. In the old city, most of the buildings are less than 10 floors, which is very contrast with the new Dubai city.


Jumeirah Beach, the famous beach in Dubai. The weather now is still considered good for us. The temperature is more or less same as in our country, which is around 30C in the afternoon. But when come to month of July - Sept, the weather will be extremely hot, which may reach 45C or even 50C. At that time, not many people will walk on the street in noon. Even at night, the weather still quite warm.


This is an artificial lagoon in Jumeirah Beach. The water is clean and you can even see fishes in the sea. Few fellows are fishing at the beach.


This is a mosque which is not very far away from the beach. I took this picture while the driver stopped in front of a traffic light. That's why can't get the focus right.


The design of the mosque is quite special, which is quite different from most of the mosque in our country.


This is one of the hotels along Jumeirah Beach. It looked like a castle. We were told by one of the locals that the decoration inside is very special. So far, we yet to have a chance to enter this hotel to have a look at it.
