Loving Dubai
A few photos of Keith and Gina's home. Since the Sabbath was Friday we went to church in a beautiful villa about 15 minutes from their home. That afternoon they showed us around and we saw the beautiful Arabic Sea with it's aquamarine water. We also saw one of the 7 Star Hotels called Atlantis. Our last night there we took them out to dinner and we viewed the dancing waters and the Burj Khalifa - tallest building in the world.

Dubai Adventure
We loved staying in the Woodhouse villa with pool located one villa away. They have a beautiful walkway behind their house leading to pool and the other direction, tennis court and park. Friday was their Sabbath day and they met in a large villa which the church rents. The arabic Sea is aqualmarine and so gorgeous, beaches with light sand or almost empty. One of our favorite hotels was the Atlantis Hotel - 7 Star! Our last night we took the Woodhouses to dinner and to see the dancing waters and Burj Khalifa, tallest building in the world.
Abu Dhaubi Mosque
This was the 3rd largest Mosque in the World. The women changed into the black abaya and shayla. Everyone took off their shoes.The inside was like a garden. The room has the biggest chandler in the world wieghing 9.5 tons. The Ablution Room (cleansing room) was where they washed different parts of their body.(eyes, mouth, hands, etc.)
Falcon Hospital
This Falcon Hospital h s helped over 35,000 Falcons and is open round theclock. We saw their perches where they are waiting for their claws to be clipped. They also repair their wings if they are broken. They hunt Gazells and Quail. We were able to feed them and watch them in flight..
