The UAE is a beautiful place. One of my favorite places. The buildings are very nice and the breeze is refreshing. The temperatures in the UAE can soar to above 40 degrees centigrade, but it only feels line 25-30 degrees centigrade.

Anybody rating the UAE low probably hasn't been there. It's more fun than Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska put together. Everything that's wrong with some Middle Eastern countries has been rectified in the Emirates. Try visiting Dubai sometime!

WHOA! I've been stopping in Dubai for the last 10 years and it's really changing! A GREAT time can be had by anyone here if you barely put your mind to it. Some of the neatest hotels and best service I have seen in the world, awsome beaches and luxuries are ALL OVER! The downtown area is pretty crowded and pretty nasty, but the gold "souk" offers great prices on gold jewelry. Huge, modern malls and affordable "resorts" along the beach make winter seem like summer. Had lot's of fun at the "Wild Wadi" water park!
