Various Views from our Balcony

Pictures are worth 1,000 words...Here are various views from our balcony and what is happening in Dubai around us.
As you will be able to see from the photos there are a lot of cranes, buses dropping off and picking up the millions of workers, and hazy skies. There is so much dirt and dust due to the thousands of buildings, malls, residences, etc. being built.
The first photo is facing Sheik Zayed Road...the main highway in Dubai. You can see what is called "Old Town" and the Burj Dubai Tower that Jon is working on. Downtown Burj Dubai is going to be a unique mix of residential, distinctive retail and iconic, record-breaking attractions. It is said that Downtown Burj Dubai has been designed to become the heart & soul of the Dubai. We will be here to watch the growth and progress of the entire area.
The two photos below are behind us and they are a newer part of Dubai called The Business Bay. This area is totally under construction with a ton of cranes. Fayth and I look at them everyday when we are at the pool. I have taught her how to say crane. It's a hard word...but we're working on it!!
