Jumeirah Beach

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

It's our last day in Dubai and we start packing. A couple of days ago we visited a public beach and get our toes wet in the sea. I prepared some photos to show you how it looks like when you can enjoy the full-blown summer activities in the midst of April.

Hotel's shuttle came on time to pick us and in 30 minutes we reached the beach. The view was stunning with the famous hotel in the background. Exactly the same like I saw it many years ago on The Travel Chanel.

The sand was getting hot even for the lifeguard. I was waiting barefoot in the line to buy some water. Impossible. Went for my flip flops and back in the line.

Like in Canada. The national flag on every step.

Very clean sandy beach without any mud and crystal clear water.

My wannabee macro.

In all these days spent here, I definitely saw more real castles than sandy ones.

A lot of rules in place.
My favorite is :
No high heels allowed on the jogging trails.
Enlarge the photo if you don't believe me.

Phone charging and WiFi station.

Another freebie on the beach.

Follow the beach instructions. Do not take the shells from the beach.

It looks like somebody underestimated the high tide.

The Jumeirah beach is great but not for freebies like me.
No parasols, no deck chairs, no shade. Not to mention the beer.
The admission to the beach is free if you don't count your skin. But it's all the matter of perspective. Even your skin is cheap comparing to the stroke you can get.

Can you spot the fence in the photo?

Behind the fence are music, beer, and pork chops.

I learned my lesson the hard way. Next time I'll come with one of these.

Great beach photos! You can't take the shells home but you can capture some beautiful shots of them and send them around the world! I especially love the macro of the single shell! Nice message in the sand to end on. Safe travels home!

wow, this is beautiful.

Wow!!! I remembered following your posts on your Dubai trip

I saw a nice beach in Dubai.

I think the sunshine of Dubai is very strong. I wonder how it actually works.

I hope you have a good time and if you do not mind, I would be grateful if you could find my blog about Korean food.

The blue sky makes everything more beautiful that i just cant take my eyes off the pictures.. Thumbs up👍

You certainly learnt your lessons the hard way really, the sand in the beaches sometimes can be very hot, and honestly I must applaud your photography skills, you're really good at this buddy.
I hope you enjoyed/enjoying Dubai?
