Beach Bars & Sunny Days

 

We’ve been laying low for the past couple of weeks. The weather has been perfect, similar to New England in August. Spent our weekends at some of our fave beach bars and restaurants.


As most of you know, Claw BBQ holds a special place in our hearts . . . about as close to an American bar as we can find here, complete with buckets of seafood, “Mexican Style” Corona drafts, and of course barbecue 



Another newly discovered outdoor venue. Pretty soon the temps will make outdoor seating a bit uncomfortable

Shimmers - our go-to Greek restaurant on the beach next to the Burj Al Arab



The Burj Al Arab actually has a helipad, providing direct access to the coveted 2-floor $23k/night suite.  We were lucky enough to see it in action


Close-up view of what I believe to be the living room of the aforementioned $23k/night suite. 

Sunset looking out to the Palm Jumeirah. The Lego like structure is the Royal Atlantis hotel, which opened in 2023






This gold camel makes an appearance every Ramadan in front of the Marina Mall near our apartment.  Kind of like a middle eastern Christmas tree. Very festive!
