These are some pictures we took when we went to a hotel Habtoor Grand. It is a very nice, always booked hotel on the beach. One of the guys Danny works with was staying there so we went for a visit. Guest have to pay 225 dhs ($61 US ) to visit the beach and the pool. And that is per person. Danny gave him enough money for one and that was accepted! The kids enjoyed the water slides for 4 hours! They have a swim up bar that is pretty nice too! One of the pictures at the end is a picture of The Atlantis being built on The Palm. It looks far away because it is! The Palm is going to be really big. There are hundreds of men out there everyday all day working on getting this thing finished! The wind has been pretty fierce lately so the red flags were out on the beach. The waves were huge! The life guards will not let you go too far out b/c a few people have drowned in the past month. The last time we went to the beach is was so calm there were really no waves! The Peacock must be a pet on the resort. It was just walking around like it owned the place. We heard that the few days prior to our visit they had a few camels on the beach and were offering rides! Too bad we missed that!!!! We will go on a desert safari when it gets a little cooler...like in October!
