Some Dubai Architecture photos...

There are some amazing buildings, old and new, in Dubai. Here's a selection of some of them...more to follow...

These were taken with my phone camera...

Inside of the Metro Station buildings, they are all identical.

The Burj Khalifa building - the highest in the world.

An old South African favourite.

Front facade of the Crowne Plaza hotel where I am staying.

Not sure what buildings these are. They are over the road from the hotel.

Mall of the Emirates - with snow ski slope (angled roof).

Not sure what these buildings are. There is a "Business Bay" area where a pile of new high rises are going up and these are some of them.

These buildings are diagonally behind the office building. I loved the late afternoon sunlight behind them.

This one shows a Metro Station building from the outside (they're also known as Armadillo's here).

The entrance to Dubai Internet City, where the office is. Just about all the major IT players are within a stone throw of each other, most around a fountained park.

Just to the right of the entrance to Dubai Internet City.

The Arenco media company building, next to the office.

Caught sight of a hot air balloon in the sky on my walk to the Armadillo.
