10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in United Arab Emirates That You Shouldn't Miss
Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

DO NOT MISS THIS. we have been three times now ands still staggering to see. We did a day trip from Dubai especially to see this mosque, and we were not disappointed. It is stunning. Beautiful white marble (with inlaid floral design), the largest carpet in the world, stunning chandeliers, beautiful water pools, 82 domes, exquisite design and yet peaceful & worthy of prayer. It is definitely the highlight of my trip to the UAE.

Qasr Al Watson is grandiose and a must when visiting Abu Dhabi. I don’t think I have ever seen such a majestic, luxurious, enchanting and stunning palace in my entire life!!! It is decorated with impeccable taste and rich in history. The marble covering the entire palace is superb. I will revisit again!!

My partner and I visited Dubai last week and what an amazing trip we had. The place is packed with lots of fabulous places to see and things till do. The people are extremely friendly, it’s a very clean environment and may I add I felt very safe here. But the highlight of our trip was non other than visiting The ‘Burj Al Arab’ for afternoon tea in the ‘Sky View Bar and it did not disappoint! This was a breathing taking experience from the exquisite food to the spectacular views. I booked the afternoon tea for my 30th birthday treat online and corresponded via email with ‘Kamal’ who replied to any questions and queries I had regarding my booking. He was extremely professional and prompt with all emails that I’d sent. He even managed to meet and greet us on the day of our afternoon tea and give us a tour of beautiful hotel and showed us around, to which was outstanding and we throughly enjoyed. Our afternoon tea was delightful, we over indulged in lots of fabulous cakes,sandwiches,scones,teas etc and I even managed to receive a birthday cake and a beautiful red rose from our very attentive waiter Robbie, such a lovely guesture. The interior and exterior is out of this world and it is absolutely pristine!! I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai and we hope to return in the future. Thank you Burj Al Arab & Kamal, you made our experience one we won’t forget for a very long time. Back in rainy Ireland and missing Dubai already! Many Thanks Louise

I visited this place with my family. Ticket price is compared to other Emirates same parks. The number of visitors were very less. There are somany fishes and the place is very calm and clean. I think the parks, museums and other attractions in Sharjah is underrated.
