    Re: Eid Holidays Places To Visit

    Hi Brindha
    You can try Dreamland Aqua park in Umm Al Quwain, they have accomodation as well now if you want to stay overnight. It is good fun for the family we make regular trips as my daughter has a great time. You can also make a day trip to Musandam in Oman. There are a lot of day trips, you can check online with the different travel agents. We are going on an overnight trip to Musandam this year.

    I know many of you might have already been in UAE but for me it was the first time. It was a business trip so I could not do a lot of sightseeing. One thing I would like to tell from my experience is its better not to expect any cheap accommodation there the most prudent thing would be to book a package from the travel agent. The malls by the way were the prime attractions to me and had to get extra baggages for the shopping. The skyscrapers are another thing which is compelled to mesmerize you. The bab el shams and madinat jumaira were the other places I liked.

    thats a good idea usha,

    now the eid holidays are also coming so lots of holidays.
    i have stayed in dubai for many years but still there are so many places i did not know about.
    last week we had gone to a trip to musandam, dolphin watching in oman but of course u need a visa to go to oman but its a good thing to do for a day.

    has nyone heard of liwa island or bani yas island.

    please share ur experiences here

    Gold Souq (My suggestion, Not to miss this at all)

    Abra (This is a boat ride on the Dubai Creek, with camera perfect views Best time: Sunset)
    Burj Al Arab (You can even go inside for a fees, which can be rdeemed inside)


    Shopping Malls in Dubai:
    Wafi Mall

    Other Emirates:
    Sharjah Souq (Good for a small drive and a one hour peek into the souq. You might get caught in the traffic)[/color][/color]
    <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"></st1:place></st1:City>
    <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Abu Dhabi</st1:place></st1:City>
    Al Ain - A drive to Jebel Hafeet will be memorable (Aerial view of UAE-Muscat border)
    <st1:place w:st="on">Fujairah</st1:place> - (Only for beach)

    For Dubai sight seeing, you can opt to take the Big Bus, which will cover most of these places in just one day.
