Back from Atlantis

This is while returning back from the Atlantis. They have a short monorail trip for visitors till Jumeirah Palm residences.It was 1 week trip in mid-Oct. Unlike our previous drive-around & discover trips, this was a little different. We were at the mercy of friends and cabbies. First learning - people drive right lane, unlike us here. When a cabbie warned of 'heavy traffic' ahead, we kept waiting for all hell to break loose, honking, rows of cars - but no drama at all ! Just a couple of extra cars! Dubai has a fascination of 'owning' everything that is a little 'larger than life' - literally - they have the worlds biggest malls, cinemas, building, hotel etc etc....hmm a bit too much of everything !
