Eid

Eid gave us the opportunity to explore all seven emirates. The first two days was composed of heavy traffic b/c of everyone heading for vacation spots and below par driving skills which lead to pile-ups. During this days we went through the emirates of Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah, and with the last destination being Fujairah.  It was bumper to bumper traffic here and the streets were filled with people who were trying to enjoy their vacation. It was to crowded for me. The following day we went to Al Ain which is in the Abu Dhabi emirate. Al Ain is an Oasis town. It was amazing to see what an Oasis actually is. This town was the best town we had been to for many reasons. Besides, going through the town, and Oasis, we went on top of Jebeel Hafeet. This view allowed you to see the whole Oasis from above. After spending the day here we went back to Dubai and got rest before going to Abu Dhabi the next day. Here we went to a Cultural Village and then headed out to an island which was the friend of a friends. There we spent the day on the beach and met some interesting company. From there we got onto a boat and headed to an unknown destination after being directed by our friend. We ended up on another private island and spent the rest of the evening and night there. It was a beautifully island and a very relaxing end to the vacation. The following day we went back to Dubai, and met up with another friend and joined him on his yacht. That was impressive as well, but a lifestyle I do not plan on getting use to. Several of the added pictures give you visuals of what I am talking about.
