June 8, 2013 Dubai, UAE

After a most delicious breakfast from the buffet set up downstairs at The Palace, we set out with Ramiss, a private guide from Dubai Private Tours. It was a good tour, he showed us the Sheik's palace, the Old town, an abra ride to the spice & gold souk, the beach, and the Atlantis Hotel at the Palms.
It was another marvelous day finished up with a relaxing late afternoon at the hotel followed by a very delicious supper at Asado's, the Argentinian restaurant in the hotel.
