Atlantis Found!

Opened in late 2008 with a much-hyped bang on Dubai's even more hyped Palm Jumeirah island, the Atlantis resort is certainly worth a visit. We rode the monorail on the Palm and other than a brief foray into the shopping center, mostly admired the resort from the outside.


View of the resort from the monorail.

The monorail gives the best location for a good frontal photo.

View from the back.

The highly-coloured domed ceilings in some parts of the shopping center.....couldn't fit the entire painting into the shot :)

A glimpse of Aquaventure, the resort's water park.

Moi - yup, this is the peak of luxury!!! I've never been to the Bahamas either, but surely they must've taken a lot of lessons from the best beach resorts of the world.
