Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
The Al Jazira Hotel & Resort is located on a man-made 7km private channel between the Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. From the satellite photo it is clear that the hotel boasts a couple of tennis courts, a helipad, and a pool shaped like a fish. It’s a good thing we can work that out for ourselves as the official website is sadly lacking in much more info or photos.

Very cool that googlesightseeing. I’m from Curitiba-Paraná-Brazil, and despite the fact that most of places are the U.S.A. I enjoy the idea. I hope that someday I found my house here. See ya.
