Gosh... there's still so much to see in the region!
We're quietly ticking off various things from our list, but I'd still like to visit: - Jordan (Petra, especially) - go back to Syria (but I don't think that's going to happen) - Muscat and Salalah - Liwa - Hatta Pools - camp in the dunes (the Kittymobile is too rubbish for sand) - Bani Yas - the various waterparks (kids have been to young up until now) - a boozy Dubai brunch (So far, I've either been pregnant or have had babies in tow, which just isn't done!) - set foot inside Rattlesnake. What else would you (collective) suggest as being the Must Do Before You Go? So far, we've gone to - Al Ain zoo - Fujeirah - Mussandam and the dolphins - Damascus - Burj Khalifa - Dubai Fountains (of course) - lots of lovely restaurants - yacht cruise around the palm (shortly) - beaches and parks (of course) - the Cultural Breakfast (very good) - dhow cruise, - Bastikiya (sp?!) and the abras - the textile souk in Karama, gold & spice souk (of course) - Big Bus Tour - cheesy but fun dinner and entertainment in Al Hadheera (Bab al Shams) ... there must be more, but hey... So, what's missing?! |
Re: Whos leaving soon
The only place in the UAE I would even vaguely class as "memorable" has to be Jebel Hafeet. The views near the top are even better than those from Taif in Saudi Arabia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebel_Hafeet

Go to Liwa if you want to see something truly breathtaking. I know I am 'the idiot abroad' but I'd also give the Hatta Pools a miss too. Unless you like swimming in green water with litter. |

EM, yes, the Grand Mosque is also on my list... have never heard of the kids' park though. Duly noted. |

Oh yes, I forgot about that... done it! Such a shame about the graffiti though.

Re: Whos leaving soon
Prob in a few months.
Don't want to leave after 6ish years here. My projects are coming to an end and although I can get other jobs in the UAE no bother with other companies, I have a good job and career with my company who is the market leader in what we do. If we leave, it will be either for singapore or home.. Hopefully we can stay, there has been enough 'change' lately for us. |

Re: Whos leaving soon
Definitely leaving now. Agreed on a package...er...salary much better than originally offered. Will report to work on the first working day of May.
Now I only need to sort out closing down my life in the UAE. Get rid of the car, close out the bank accounts, empty out the flat, arrange a carrier to take my cat to London, book the farewell brunch, say goodbye to my friends and all that. Oh, and yeah, tell the company I'm handing in a month's notice. Tomorrow should be fun. |
Re: Whos leaving soon
