Megan and I at the Burj al Arab, on Saturday, May 31, 2008. The Burj al Arab is the building in Dubai. Much of Dubai consists of excessively large and creative skyscrapers, but the Burj al Arab is primary sight to see in Dubai, such as the Eiffle Tower is in Paris. Burj al Arab translates into "tower of the Arabs" and is currently used as 7 star hotel.
Megan and I at the Jumeriah Mosque, the largest mosque in Dubai, on Saturday, May 31, 2008. The mosque was not open today. When open, however, Muslim men and women must enter in separate enterances and proceed to pray in different areas of the church. At the top of each tower is a speaker that is used to broadcast the call to prayer 5 times a day.
