What to do and see in United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates: The Best Wine Tours & Tastings
Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

It wasn't terrible and it certainly wasnt great. We were picked up at our hotel about twenty minutes late in a Gray Lines minibus. Driver only; guide service was provided by headphones and a canned narrative often a bit out of sync from where we were at the time. Although it was booked as an English tour, we were the only people on the bus who spoke English. The other languages were handled as was English by the multilingual headphones. The driver spoke a very fractured English which was hard to understand and none of the other languages so I frequently had to translate the driver's comment as to where he would meet us and how long we could spend at a given site. The tour itself was comprehensive and covered a reasonable amount of sites with adequate time per site. Lunch was not included and not even water, which was a first for any tour I had been on. However the driver did stop at a supermarket in the morning so people could buy water or soft drinks. I noted that we frequently parked a substantial distance from sites involving long walks while other tour busses seemed to be able to park much closer. The extreme example came when we went to ascend the tallest skyscraper in the world Burj Khalifa. I noted that other tour guides either accompanied their groups to the top or at least arranged to meet them at the base of the elevators after the ascent. Not this group. The driver raced with other members of the group way ahead of us leaving my wife, who uses a cane and myself way behind, concerned we would lose sight of him as he navigated through a complicated and crowded Dubai Mall to reach the elevators to the top. We finally caught up, the driver gave us the tickets and we rode to the top on our own. However he said he would meet us back at the tour van, about 2 km away back thru the geographically complicated largest mall in the world. We asked security guards to direct us back to the right parking lot. The guards all expressed amazement that the guide had not stayed to escort us back as apparently everyone else did. With considerable difficulty we made it back to the van exactly at the appointed time only to find it locked and no driver in sight. Twenty minutes later he showed up with no apology anf the tour continued. At the end of the day, though we were only a few minutes from our hotel, he refused to drop us off there and said we needed to get a taxi to go back to the hotel. Indeed he stated he was being tracked by the tour company on GPS and would be penalized if he returned us to where we started. Otherwise he would take us back to the Dubai Mall, a half hour's drive away. You can probably do better than this tour to see Dubai.
