Living near the beach is one of the aspects we love about living in Dubai. Even in the coldest months (Jan. and Feb.) when locals think the 65 degree water is too cold, we remind ourselves that the water is still warmer than it is in California in the middle of the summer. This weekend we went to the beach for a couple hours.
The beach we typically visit has great views of Dubai's trademark buildings. The Burj Khalifa (seen in the picture above behind the mosque) is the world's tallest building. The Burj Al-Arab (seen in the first picture) is a hotel built in the shape of sail and claims to be the only "seven star" hotel (I'm still trying to figure out what that means). In the typical Dubai tradition, it seems like all buildings in Dubai need a superlative (e.g. tallest, most expensive, most visitors).
