jules_darby Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Very enlightened bunch they are over there Dubai Television refuse to broadcast The Flintstones as they don't think the locals get the humour But we all know for a fact that the people in Abu Dhabi Do That's not olden, it's golden!
Danny G Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Nice place, its certainl on the up, it has a bit more class than Dubai. If you have the cash stay at Emirates Palace
Drew Peacock Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Went last year doing a few days work out there. Hotel was great - if expensive - around ?5 for a pint. Stayed at the Hilton Beach Club on the Corniche. Spent most of the 5 days there slaving away - was going the big mall on the Friday morning (holy day), but that is closed until 3pm, when we were back in work. Ate 'local' a couple of times - good food and good value. Smokers paradise - around ?5 for 200. Don't get a parking ticket - that was the system I was working on - can cost up to ?1000! Locals, well the wardens we met, were really friendly and always said hello, and tried a conversation. Too much time spent working, but what I saw and experienced, I enjoyed HTH
