:shock: resist the urge to dive for the ball :shock:

Hope thats astro terf cause i wouldn't want to be the person to mow it.

^^^ I think it is real 8)

lol thats not really even the city, that is more off to the side
(looking for pics form last trip there on PC)

So they spend millions on a tennis court in the sky and go cheap on the grass, thats awesome. :lol:

That is the most awesome thing I've ever seen lol...wouldn't be running as hard to get to the ball would ya :D

Nice find

guys, it's a fake tennis court !!

They had a similar "commercial" activity with Tiger Woods playing Golf on this Heli-port.

The area you see in the background is not Dubai city, as Toronto mentioned above.
It's the huge Jumeirah-area with several 5* resorts and a water park and of course the only 7* hotel of the world, the Burj-al-arab hotel.

The background of "agassi2" is the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, in "agassi1" one can see the newly built Madinata Jumeirah and the Jumeirah Beach Club and a Waterpark.
Amazing: everything you see in "agassi1" was built in the last 3 years! :shock:

In 2001, I was lucky to spend 3 days in the hotel next to the BurJ Al Arab, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

in case you don't take a helicopter to fly in, they have a fleet of at least 5 white RollsRoyce to pick you up!....

and a very nice night combo

My parents stayed there for a week or so last year and are going back this year, the photos they brought back are unbelievable! :shock:

I never would have thought that an Arab city would be so damn amazing :shock: American cities don't look anywhere NEAR that gorgeous. Let alone our hotels :? How about we hire some of these designers to revamp Los Angeles, San Fransisco, New York and Phoenix?

Like it's been said, that's not what Dubai looks like, that's just Jumeirah beach. Most relaxing beach i've ever been to. Not busy and great service.

I saw this on TV a few months ago, but its good to get some nice big pictures of it :D THanks :wink:

Absolutely. Looking at those pictures brings back some good memories. Makes me want to go back for another holiday :)

Not to be a lazy ass and not learn my geography of the middle east, but where exactly is Dubai, anyone have a map handy. Come on ronin i know your up for this :D And yes i didn't read it, i should have assumed it was a helicopter pad, my mistake :?

Ever heard of Google?
