Travel Blogs from United Arab Emirates
We have a guest writer and she's good too
This is a top pick! Hello to all the friends and family of Pete and Mandy Hutch. Shane and I were invited to submit the Emirates-leg of their journey, as special guest bloggers! It's going to be hard to compete with Pete's vivid entries...but we'll give it a burl. Day 1 ...
Tripping at the last hurdle
This is a top pick! ... of us staged a minor demonstration by refusing to go right back to the main area, a place full of shops, irritating staring Arab men and totally devoid of seats. Instead we sat down in the corridor, against the wall, beyond the security checkpoint. The ...
Dubai... that doesn't look like Dubai!
This is a top pick! ... I will have to go back to Dubai because apparently you aren't even allowed to leave the airport when you are connecting on Emirates, no matter how long your layover is... I finish catching up on my blog and sleep before boarding another plane headed to ...
A Day At The Mall
This is a top pick! Diggy had a plan for us today, starting with a visit to Ibn Battuta mall. Ibn Battuta is the original discoverer/astronomer of the UAE. This mall reminds me of Cesar's in Vegas. The ceiling is painted sky and changes while each wing represents the ...
Show and Tell
This is a top pick! As listed on my cell phone Diggy Singh was my designated CS host in Dubai. He had been great about responding and making me feel confident that all would work as planned once I arrived in Dubai. This was in spite of the fact that the poor guy had been in ...
Al-Ain and some more observations on Dubai
This is a top pick! He Said: Being an economics teacher, when I travel I tend to see countries through that frame. The United Arab Emirates has really piqued my interest on how their huge boom has evolved. I have so many questions about what enabled this tiny nation to ...
Dune Bashing
This is a top pick! We were thinking what could we do in Dubai with so much sand around? Let's go dune bashing in a four wheel drive, ride a camel and do some belly dancing! Initially we had planned to do a desert safari in Oman thinking it would be cheaper as it is less ...
Ten hours in Dubai Duty Free
This is a top pick! Our aim was to try and get a transit visa so we could possibly meet a few friends for lunch but once again the 'Curse of the little green book' struck and we were told the only way we would get a visa on arrival would be if we booked a nights ...
Wild Wadi Water World
This is a top pick! ... our newfound friend Sam from Canberra we headed out of the park to check out the massive 7 star hotel well known by all, Burj Al Arab. Funnily enough they wouldn't let us in for a look but we headed to the local public beach to watch the sun set and the ...
Travel tips and closing thoughts on UAE and Oman
This is a top pick! We Said: This morning we drove back to the UAE for our last taste of the Western world for a few months. Tomorrow we are flying to Mombasa, Kenya to start our African adventure. In the next few months Internet access will probably be slow and sporadic ...
Under Construction...Dubai City of the Future
This is a top pick! ... territory in 1971. In the negotiations around the British withdrawal, three new nations were created: Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is actually seven very small Emirates (kingdoms ruled by an Emir) that operate together in a sort ...
Is it an airport or a shopping center?
This is a top pick! ... top. Not the first time I've been here but it continues to amaze each time. In about an hour I hop on another Emirates flight to Osaka...I'm sure it'll be over 10 hours but I haven't confirmed that yet. Luckily, I have my business class ...
14 hour layover in Abu Dhabi
This is a top pick! At the end of day 1 [and technically I'm not even there yet] I'm having to amend my list to include, 1d) times I got completely lost. Having said that, I wasn't lost - I knew exactly where I was, just not where I was meant to be... Rewind a ...
Stop Over in Abu Dhabi
This is a top pick! A quick stopover. A bland airport. Lots of sand visible. That, unfortunately, was Abu Dhabi for ...
All the comforts of home!
This is a top pick! Returning from Oman, we found the best western type hotel we have stayed at during our travels. It felt like home, with the soft duvet covers and comfortable bed. It was great having a kitchen where we could actually cook our own food, even if it only ...
Visiting the Blake family at their new house!
This is a top pick! We caught a ride with Waheed and he dropped us off at a mall across from Donnah’s new house. However, the problem was that you couldn’t cross the highway and we had to catch a taxi. We waited for about 15 minutes and finally a ...
Under Construction
This is a top pick! ... Dubai, the jewel of the Arab world, is one of the 7 emirates that make up the oil-rich Persian Gulf country, The United Arab Emirates. The tiny emirate, twice the size of London, is a kingdom built on the profits of its oil reserves and so one shouldn't ...
Gold, Gold and More Gold
This is a top pick! ... any tourist information, not for lack of trying and hours of walking in the heat, we decided to head to the Mall of the Emirates. This is the largest mall in the eastern hemisphere. Aside from over 500 shops and numerous food courts it has an indoor ski ...
Short Layover in Abu Dhabi
This is a top pick! ... all kinds of music (I jammed to Arabic pop), music videos, and games. The first 6-hour flight to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates flew by. It's also cool because we flew over some hotspots that are in the news every once in a while. ...
An architects dreamland.....Dubai!
This is a top pick! Arriving in Dubai Airport was certainly different from India! All the immigration officers had white robes (called dishdash) with Guthra (white headscarf or the red and white checkered) with the Egal which is the black rope that fixes the headscarf ...
Too much fun at Wild Wadi Waterpark!
This is a top pick! We had really been looking forward to visiting Wild Wadi, it was supposed to be the biggest waterpark in the world. We met up with the Blake family who drove in from Abu Dhabi. We had too much fun going down all the water slides. Our ...
Plans Unravelled - New Plans Made.
This is a top pick! ... for a 4 day visit due to leave 2 days after we arrived in Dubai (from South America). We had booked these after Ebony's January Emirates work roster had come out and we knew she would be away for these days but back after wards when we could have some ...
A night in Dubai, or Emirates Rules!
This is a top pick! ... like a shopping mall at Christmas even at 1:00 in the morning. Even better, because we were waiting so long, Emirates gave us a wonderful free buffet meal at its hotel restaurant. They had chocolate mousse for dessert. We also got ...
Abu Dhabi - Home Of "Phone A Friend".
This is a top pick! ... total contrast the shops are full of high end western dress and very filmy, delicate women's night attire and underwear. Emirates must have a lot of opportunities to wear these clothes at home one thinks! From above the mall looking ...
in the airport
This is a top pick! Hi all, just a quick post to say that we're safely in Dubai and the first leg of the journey went very well indeed. The next is due to commence in about 1hr 30 mins. Got to be quick as we're stealing wifi in some electronics strore in the airport so will ...
We are in India (but the bikes are not)
This is a top pick! We woke up knowing the day ahead was going to be a mission. The first task was to seal up the bike boxes and drag them upstairs. We then worked on the panniers, the baggage weight limit was a problem and we were worried by how much we were over (at ...
