You have to actually stay there though - you can't just visit........

"You're not a guest??? Oh well then you have to leave this area immediately..... yes, that includes you, Your Highness...."

A bit like that is it, its just ive good some point to use up & thats the cheapest place to use them & i hear there are no speed cameras on that road.

We went there for the Festival of Waste, nice location but service was appalling.

There are speed cameras on the road, but I don't think they are working (I hope not, anyway).

Is it on the Dubai - Al Ain Rd ????

Ive heard the best driving rd is the ' Jebel Hafit Rd ' true ?

NorthernLad

Not sure of road names, we just headed from Ranches, past Studio city and straight on all the way.

pauldxb

Yeh thats the same rd

shiva

yes but that isnt the dubai al ain road and nor is it anywhere near the jebel hafeet road.....jheesh i'm amazed that you lot havent ended up in iran yet with your senses of direction

pauldxb

IRAN...... Is that Junction 22 of the M25

Bab al Shambles is right. The basic rooms are cave-like, but the suites are lovely. F&B needs a total overhaul, as it ought to be a great place to stay.

admon

its actually junction 22a..

the road up jebel hafeet is quite amusing for the amount of cars you see that lose it and slam into the wall. The locals havn't realised that big powerful V8 SUV's and a twisty mountain road are not a good match!

TGFKASE

Sounds like MY kinda road........
