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 2001, only this hotel, the Burj-al-arab and the waterpark were built!


and we could visit this amazing 7*-hotel,

hotel with heli-port


bathroom in a standard room


main hall (inside of the "sail" shaped 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

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.
