The Emirates Palace

Since I came to Abu Dhabi I was dying to enter to the The Emirates Palace. At long last my simple wish had come true last Saturday as we roam around the Palace for a couple of minutes. The Emirates Palace is another Luxury Hotel which is owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi. It was built in a cost of astounding $3BILLION (whew!) enough to be reputed as the most expensive hotel ever built. With that kind of amount to have been put up of course you would not expect plainness in here. It is a huge palace with a wide landscape so its not an ordinary hotel building structure What I like are the effects on the frontage. Those are the playful fountains and the long lining fall from the Lobby descending to the ground.

That's us! (really sunny afternoon)

wild wadi

"Come alive @ Wild Wadi"
as its tagline says. Wild Wadi is one of the famous waterpark resort here in UAE.
We went there last May. The weather is hot and sun is scorching so the best way to cool yourself is to go to a resort. Wild wadi as obviously is our choice. It's 12 acres waterpark resort with 30 adrenalin-pumping rides situated between Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

Wild wadi is a kind of resort which offers fun water rides. Rather than concentrating on swimming alone you can enjoy and expirience surfing, slides, waves, water jets and a lot more. The vast majority of the rides at Wild Wadi are a first for this region. It include the Jumeirah Sceirah, the tallest and fastest slide outside the United States (freefall tlga!); the aptly titled Tunnel of Doom, which takes you on a spine-tingling underground journey of twists and turns; the Summit Surge, which uses high-powered water jets to propel up to four people uphill; and the Wipeout FlowRider where the adventurous can surf a tube wave nearly three metres high.

Just to share..we are all 16 who entered and we got 12 tickets (in a form of water resistant swipable watch) free! I guess that is the best part of the deal!
