i didn't have much time for touristy stuff . i saw the indoor ski slope though . there is a mall where you look into it from a huge glass window . really novelty stuff if you ask me . i saw the 2 man made islands from the plane , that was cool . but the most memorable thing for me was the eating . some outrageous spreads every night .
eh i guess if you're into high dollar shopping , you'll have plenty to do ...
or if you're into wasting money on "dating"

yeah I'd like to experience some of the culture that it has to offer there rather than just touristy things. we will be going to all of the emirates so we'll see quite a bit. Anyone know what type of widlife is there? any reptiles/fish?
