Dubai, United Arab Ermirates




Any old fort, converted to a museum

Dubai began as a small fishing settlement. In the early 1800's the settlement was taken over by a branch of the Bani Yas tribe from the Liwa Oasis led by the Maktoum family who still rule the Emirate today

Four wheeling on the dunes and "wadi bashing" are some things for visitors to enjoy doing. This involves driving up huge sand dunes and through springs called "wadis" in four wheel drive vehicles. It is a great way to experience the desert within the comfort of a luxury vehicle. Sound like cool fun to me. You can opt to spend the night in tradional bedouin tents in the desert. One word of caution, if you are served a hot cup fo tea it is full of sugar! The rules of this city are pretty laid back and the city is one of the cleanest in the Middle East.
