I'm in Al Ain. You've probably not heard of it. It's the 4th biggest city in the UAE, it's by an oasis and it seems like a proper city, by which I mean you can walk from one side of the city centre to the other within an hour.
It's a bit older and a bit more charming than Abu Dhabi, there's forts and museums and history and stuff. And an oasis. Did I mention that already - more palm trees than you can shake a stick at, and believe you me I've shaken sticks at a lot of palm trees in my time.
Staying in a five-star hotel. Not sure I like it, there's no plug for the kettle, in a sensible place. Have as many different restaurants as you like but frankly you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a five-star hotel if you have to crawl under a table to make a coffee. Look at me getting all judgemental over hotels. A part of me has died.
