Friday Brunch
I already mentioned in a previous post how popular Friday Brunch is here in the Middle East. One of the friends with me had specifically mentioned the brunch at Al Qasr. This brunch is located at Jumeirah Al Qasr at Madinat. It is a beautiful hotel! Reminded me of the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii that you can take a river boat in order to get around the property.
On a side note, from the Jumeirah hotel grounds you can also see the Burj Al Arab. This hotel is billed as one of the world's most luxurious hotels. There are only suites, no other room styles. If you would like to read more about the Burj Al Arab, go check out Expat Panda's post here.

Back to Brunch at Al Qasr. The hotel grounds are beautiful. There are also quite a number of expensive and fancy cars parked outside the front lobby area. I happened to really like this chandelier:

Brunch here has multiple levels, depending on what you would like to drink with your brunch. We chose the champagne brunch. There were 4 different rooms of food, and an outside area that had more food and drinks.

After Brunch: Celebrating the Downing of the Sun and Vibrant Nights
Around 5pm, we hailed a taxi over to the Marriott Marquis and took an elevator up to Vault. Vault is located on the 71st and 72nd floors of the hotel. The views were amazing!

The company was great, the drinks were delicious, and we had a good time! Part 3 continues with our visit to the Dubai Miracle Garden.
