It's actually just sort of a high-end souq, connected to a hotel, and a number of other things that they won't let you into. It's on the waterfront, and you get to see the omnipresent Burj al-Arab in the background at all times.

So very posh
Madinat Jumeira has this really posh architecture. It's all brand new, but it's designed to look like it's old-fashioned, and they usually do a pretty good job. We were joking that it looked like something out of Indiana Jones--I dunno what, though: "Indiana Jones goes on Vacation"? I wish I had a video recorder, and we could make our dreams come true! Anyway, I tried to capture some of the architecture in this shot, and in the background is the omnipresent Burj.
