Al Ain
- Stone grill (cook a steak on a hot stone)
- Al Noor restaurant (best moutabal)
- A walk through the oasis
- A trip up Jebel Hafeet (our one tiny nearby mountain provides an overlook of the city)
- A desert trip - the sand here is more like powder than sand
- Camel races (at this time of year they only race very early on Saturday mornings... is it worth getting up at 6? I'll leave that up to Travis)
- Camel market
- Downtown souk
- Cross over into Oman (just to say you've done it)
- Duning
- Fort and museum at Jahili park.
Dubai
- Dubai Mall - World's biggest mall and has an interesting indoor aquarium
- Emirates Mall - the indoor ski slope has to be seen to be believed
- Burj Khalifa - the world's tallest building... I've been waiting for a visitor to have an excuse to go up
- Sheikh Zayed Road - I don't know if it is the world's only 14 lane road but it is hard to imagine a larger freeway
- Burj Al Arab - it calls itself the world's only seven star hotel. I'd like to go in but I've heard it's over $100 just to have coffee...
Abu Dhabi
- Sheikh Zayed mosque -
- Qasr al Hosn - the oldest building in the country
- Emirates Palace Hotel (the place with the gold ATM)
- Yas waterpark
