Nargis ... good to hear you enjoyed your visit to the UAE even though June/July/August are not the most pleasant months to visit weather wise with July being the hottest and the humidity in Dubai & Abu Dhabi can be a bit uncomfortable when outdoors.

I remember when Bur Juman was being built and also the extension some years later.  Did you manage to go inland in Abu Dhabi at all to places like Al-Ain?  Very different ... no tall buildings etc. . called the garden city and on the Omani border.

UAE certainly worth a visit but in my opinion ... the best days for living & working there are looong gone !!!

Residents are aware of the unwritten law which forbids one from saying anything untoward about the Rulers and royal family.... people have been reported and arrested for this.

Children born to expatriates working in the Emirates are NOT given UAE citizenship.  The take the nationaity of the parents and do not receive any government benefits whatsoever.

Locals (Emiratis) are the only ones given an educational allowance but are now encouraged to attend the UAE University and the HCT (Higher Colleges of Technology) which were set up exclusively for them to study at no cost. For post grad studies though I think they still get government funding.

While Dubai is very very liberal to westerners much like the Sultanate of Oman ... there are always those who make it difficult for others ... whether through blatant ignorance or total disregard for culture or tradition of guest country .......

In this photo taken Saturday, June 23, 2012, women of different nationalities

walk at the Jumeirah Beach Residence Walk in Dubai , United Arab Emirates.

As the numbers of foreigners have increased, so have the stories of them violating the

UAE's strict indecency code which limits drinking to bars and nightclubs and

bans public displays of affection.....

“While going to a mall, I saw two ladies wearing ... I can’t say even shorts

It was underwear,”

“Really, they were not shorts,"

“I was standing and thinking:

‘Why is this continuing? Why is it in the mall?

I see families. I see kids around.”’

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches.
