From up above

There's a place I went to, that I had never been before. It's those huge buildings that make up Dubai Marina: Jumeirah Beach Residence.

Venture up to the top floors, and look at the view: astounding; totally beyond comprehension. Face the beach, and look at the coastline from both angles: Burj Al Arab on one side, and Jebel Ali on the left. Peek downwards, and you'll see little spots that are actually beach-goers revelling in the sunset, dipping in the sea.

The horizon is beyond explanation. The view is magnificent. Cast your eyes in the distance, and the proximity at which the coastline is, you feel like you're flying accoss in a plane. You could study this view forever, and you'd be lost in paradise.

Venture on down to the leisure deck, where you could walk for miles. It's a palatial landscape with heavenly attributes.

Adventure on upwards again, taking the secret entrance to your flat. Look out of the window, and you see Dubai, the grandest view you could ever imagine, the grandest city you could be in, from every height, from mile to mile.

They are breath taking views indeed Princess - especially the Horizon and Dubai Skyline in the night. It's like the city of lights in the ME region - just beautiful, serene, clean and breath taking.
