Thursday was the Islamic new year. The government declared it a "Dry Day" so no alcohol could be served and there could be no entertainment in hotels, restaurants, clubs, or any public area. So, we decided to spend our Thursday night at the JBR Walk. The Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) is a waterfront community that has a gorgeous view of the Arabian Sea along with a mile long strip of restaurants, cafes and shopping. The area is FANTASTIC for people watching and apparently, car watching too! Hundreds of people drive their luxury cars along the strip to show off their sweet rides. There is so much traffic on this street that cars inch slowly by and it probably takes about an hour to finish driving the walk! We had dinner at a yummy Mexican restaurant sans margs and then took a short walk along the beach.
Next stop: the Atlantis! We wanted to smoke Shisha or hookah and headed off to the Atlantis since they have an outdoor terrace. Driving up to the Atlantis is always exciting. At night it's just this lone beacon of sparkly-ness on Palm Island.
It was a lovely night outside. We had strawberry, grape and rose mint shisha. Next time you find yourself smoking shisha, order the grape, its for those in the know =)
