2 weeks in Emirates

This was also my first exposure to desert and way of life in one Arab Country. I stayed with my cousin that lives in Abu Dhabi, we made several trips to Dubai, I did a desert safari and travelled around a bit.

Seeing towns build in the middle of the desert, smoking shisha, desert safari, learing about Arab culture, and seeing Dubai as a most contemporary city I have ever seen being built so quickly were highlights of my trip.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Modern, clean, and contemporary cities and amazing desert life
Cons:Too strict (religious wise) for my taste
In a nutshell:Gotta go again to see what new is being built
