The Blog: Dubai, Atlantis

Dubai Day 1

We landed in Dubai around 4:00 PM (in Dubai). While walking through the airport I saw many signs for Atlantis, The Palm. When waiting for the taxi to arrive my parents told us there was a surprise for us here and the hints were all around the airport. I clued in right away but my brother was looking for less obvious clues than signs I think. He saw a palm tree and said, “The tree is green and leafy. Hmm. Maybe we’re going to the forest or the jungle!” We saw the tallest building in the world, then the taxi arrived at our hotel it was Atlantis Hotel, The Palm. It’s called the palm because the island ( its man made) is shaped like a palm tree (kind of). It was the coolest, most awesome hotel I have ever been to. In the center it had a huge water fountain and smaller ones around it. The pool we went to was neat to, because the water looks sandy underneath and there are little island type things around.

Dubai Day 2

We woke up the next day ate breakfast and headed for the Lost Chambers (Aquarium) It was fun, mostly because I normally get really bored in aquariums because they’re all the same but this one was really cool. I saw the biggest fish I ever have seen. The center had a neat water that looked like lava thing I can’t explain, but I’ll try to find a photo, and all the fish tanks looked like they had the ruins of Atlantis in them. Later we went to The Atlantis Water Park. The first thing we went on was the leap of faith. You plunge down an almost straight up and down slide, then through a shark tank, then out. Then we went in the rest of the slides and pools. I also had the best strawberry milkshake ever, Yum! After all that we flew to Kochi, India.
