We had an awesome Saturday afternoon on a big catamaran around Dubai. The weather was incredible and it was so nice to see Dubai from the water and get a different perspective.
I thought you might like to soak it in...
...we happened to be out when the Traditional Dubai Dhow Sailing Race was taking place...
...we anchored for some swimming...
...then continued our journey back...
... we watched the wooden dhow boats being towed back after the race {they only go one way}...
...and saw a helicopter land on the Burj Al Arab...
...what a relaxing way to spend an afternoon ~ gorgeous sights, fresh sea air and a pretty sunset... ahhhh....

What a funny coincidence. We were on a catamaran as well, watching a J20 regatta, here in Barbados. Hard to believe it is getting cold at home, sweltering here.
Beautiful! It was 15c and rainy here...and I was in Ikea and the mall...fun but definitely not relaxing...thanks for sharing! Happy Monday!
Your photos are gorgeous!! I am longing for sun warming my skin, blue waters and bright skies! xo
A truly perfect day.....and gorgeous too!
Such a beautiful place to live! I would love to vacation there some day!

Wow! Looks pretty spectacular Lisa. I could use a hit of sun right about now ;)
What a fun adventure you are having - so many sights to soak in. I've never heard of boats that only go one way, quite interesting. Love that photo of you all jumping into the water - great!
This is just what I needed this morning! I grew up going out on our family boat and miss having one. Such a beautiful day and gorgeous photos!
These pictures are BREATHTAKING!!!! How fun to spend Thanksgiving aboard a catamaran, you got the most splendid day. Gorgeous!
It's so relaxing to be on the water, right? Looks like a great way to spend a Saturday.
Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday! Love all your beautiful pictures :)
Looks amazing Lisa!!!
beautiful photos!! I just love this place it's for sure on my list of places to visit.
G'day Lisa, loving your photos...all that blue sky and ocean...and those white sails on the dhows, they look amazing. Enjoy the 'milder' weather...what I wouldn't do for a good 30' or more!! Robx
My goodness, what a dream of a day! I have been in some gloomy weather in England, so those beautiful pictures were very therapeutic (if not a little jealousy-inducing.) I wandered over from Laura's blog, and loved seeing this post.
Amazing Photos. Beautiful. Visiting from Happy Homemakers Post of the Month Club.
You live in a surreal place, my friend. To think you were recently plucked from Ireland! So interesting the boats only go one way - so just for looks and not practicality?
Thank you for linking to POTM Club :) Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Lisa
I was delighted to stop by here from POTM Club. Your photography is stunning. My fave is the one with all the small sales on the horizon. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing that link. I'll be back...
