OK so EID.....two day holiday after Ramadan.
went shopping and found CAMEL MILK......had to try that so got the smallest bottle we could find.it tastes more sour than cows milk....i dont think it would be nice on the cornflakes......for the ATC lot.....please note the TROLL!!!!
We decided to go on a road trip......grabbed the explorer book and hit the road to Al Ain.....VERY PRETTY......beautiful mosque and roundabouts with different features....ie the Zoo had plastic animals on it and some had water falls. the main one in town had a Very large water feature!
all the shops were closed as it was the holidays so we continued on to Jebel Hafeet, the highest mountain in the UAE.......well my Civil Engineer buddy describes it as a lump of rock in the desert......as a geologist i was in Awe all the way up the twisty road...... Great views of Abu Dhabi Emirate......we could just make out the mountains over in Oman's direction. We also got our first view of PROPER desert sand dunes.......Still not found any camels yet!!! THE HUNT CONTINUES!!!!.........It was a long day, returning via Al Ain again to stop at the Rotana Hotel for a lovely meal.........and trying in vain to find the Oasis....well......we had to give up in the end....just could not find it!........back into Dubai and we noticed the humidity again....not to mention the traffic jams..........
totally chilled in the evening had a few drinks and watched a DVD......ready for the second day of the holiday where we sat by the pool!!!! well..........we have to kick start the tanning at some point!!!!!
