What an incredible place. I was lucky enough to spend the past 12 days over there with the missus, it really is the best place in the world that I have ever been to.

Just had a look through the masses of pics that I've taken and thought I'd share some of the highlights :)

View(s) from the appartment balcony in Dubai Marina.

Dubai Marina from the sea. The second building from the left is the Mariott Hotel, and has the one of the best bars I have ever been in, situated on the 52nd floor...high!

No matter how many times you see it, it's still as striking as the first!

If you ever get the opportunity to go, you must! Ignore all the haters/sun readers and book a flight ;)

Cheers all,

Luke.

To think it looked like this 19 years ago is astonishing!

Gray - So do I my friend! I'm considering a move out there myself.

Scutch - LOL! It was farking huge.

Ian - Cheers! Just seen your blog with the Crete pics - Nice! Didn't venture into Malia at all? ;)

Hazza - Those pics look like they were taken from Dubai's Trade Centre Building, which was once the tallest building in Dubai. You can just about see it to the right of the Emirates Towers in the second to last photo - it looks tiny!
 
Nice pics.

Always fancied going there, but never have due to their strange/strict laws. Fear of getting arrested for not facing east when doing up my shoe laces in public etc.

Nah I hate clubbing mate, not my scene at all! Was there with family so just lazed around for the week. :p Saw you putting these up on Flickr and figured my little thread won't be getting too many views now haha.

I'd definitely consider moving out there bud, coming back to England isn't much fun after a holiday.

Honestly mate, don't believe any of the horror stories; they are all blown way out of proportion. Just respect the fact that it is a completely different culture, that's all.

Dan - Don't go out there, your pictures would put mine to shame! Lol.

Ian - Lol, I went out there last year, good fun but a complete s**thole tbh! Would love to back to Crete and see the rest of it though :cool:

Those pics are amazing! Fair play!

That building you can see (the massive one, not tall) in the second pic from the top of the burj khalifa, is that that big mall?

I could get the chance to work there but not being able to kiss my missus in public is a no go!

Thanks all! :approve:

FlameR - Just my trusty D40 mate! Looking to upgrade later this year though. I couldn't comment on the best places to stay holiday-wise, I'm lucky in the respect that my old man currently lives out there. Let me know what date you're over in October too, I'm planning on flying out then!

Markie - Cheers mate! Yeah, that's Dubai Mall - It's huge!

White16valver - About £700, not including fights. Bear in mind that's pretty much doing something different every day, from desert safari to indoor skydiving, I don't think I did too badly! I spent £900 in 10 days in Malia last year pretty much on booze :eek:

Nice pics, my bro was working out there last month and went up the burj khalifa, said it was a little disappointing, didn't feel that high from the observation deck as it's not that far up the building. Said it didn't feel feel any higher than being up the empire state building.

Burj al arab, god, I miss that place, really want to stay there again, take a bird there, was out of this world.

Awesome pics mate, I was out there last year, would love to move out there, I got my dslr a few days before we went out there so your pics are much better than mine lol

I want to stay here.

Lovely pics.

2 words, DO IT!!! I thought it was amazing and worth every penny

What camera did you use mate?

Also, any recommdations on whereabouts to stay?

I can recommend the Atlantis, we stayed there last year and it was amazing :D

I absolutely loved it there, but sadly, its far too hot for kids so won't be going back until they're 13/14.

Pisses me right off tbh! lol.

CS Dubai meet? LOL.

DK - Seriously, it's high enough! Btw, worst ever 'I stayed in the Burj Al Arab' post ever ;) You can still take me though if you want xx

Daniel - Lol, too right. Was touching 47 the day before we left, went to the beach but it was wayyy too hot to just lie there. Went for a cool down in the sea but it was just as hot. FFS!

Luke - Will fire a PM over now bud! Very jealous already that you're going out there. Will be HOT then and very humid at night! Pics wise - Manual, with a selection on kit 18-55, 55-200 and 50mm F1.8.
