The kids were none too happy about taking a bus tour after getting off of a 16 hour flight and having already spent more than a full day traveling. However, Mommy convinced them they should be nice to Daddy and go on the tour. Poor kids actually took turns falling asleep on the bus only to be woken up at various stops. The bus tour was really a great way to see the city.
After the tour, we ate dinner in the hotel restaurant, rested for about an hour, and then headed back to the airport. We had a 4 am flight so we had to be to the airport by 2am. We didn't really get to sleep in the hotel, but it was nice to get a shower and clean up a little before embarking on the next long leg of our journey.

On the bus...we are in the very back
At the Hotel Atlantis on Palm Jumeirah, an artifical island shaped like a palm tree.
The kids are oh so happy to be woken up to take a tour of the Hotel Atlantis.
The hotel had the largest indoor aquarium we have ever seen anywhere...amazing!
Burj Al Arab Hotel, also on an artificial island in the Persian Gulf...room rates are $2000-$9000 US per night!

What an amazing experience for you and your kids!
Definitely a memorable experience. Glad we did it even though we were all so tired we were falling asleep on the bus.
