The Emirates Palace is definitely a place for walkers (I loved it), as from one end to the other is one kilometer. It is impossible to describe, and from the beach (the Gulf water was pretty warm) one can see the blue/silver sky scrapers built as a background melting with the local architecture in all its splendor but without being bling bling.
The international buffet breakfast left me speechless again but may be dangerous to anybody’s waistline should one stay there more than a couple of days.
