Big Bro Visits Abu Dhabi
This past December my brother came to UAE to see what it's like to live in Abu Dhabi. He experience more of the UAE than most do in a year. Most of the activities, Sara and I hadn't experienced...so it was great for all of us.
Troy's first night (right of the plane), he went for a tour around town and picked up lebanese shwarma sandwiches. The cuisine throughout the next 11 days was a collage of lebanese, persian, indian, and finished with a barbeque restaurant at Emirates Palace on the beach. Of course, Sara also spoiled us with her own meals as well. The garlic chops were my favorite!
We did so many activities, it would be hard to remember if it wasn't for the photo's. The first major day is considered our Dubai day; which included a camel race, the Burj Khalifa/Dubai mall, Jumeriah Souk, and the Atlantis. We'll start with the photo's of the Al Wadtha Camel race...which starts at 7am! Our friend Jeanie joined us on our Dubai day.
Future postings (hopefully soon) will include our adventures of wave runners, NBA JamFest, a tour of saadiyat island (where I work), dune bashing, dinner in the desert, FIFA Soccer game, and Ferrari World. I think that's most of the major fun stuff. We also met a friend on the top of the Aloft hotel open air bar for an evening of drinks and a great view of the city.
Camels getting ready to head to the starting gate!
View from the main start finish stands...one lap is is 6 miles!
Camel back side at starting gate! They have electric jockeys.
Camels coming to the finish line...with owners following in SUV's!
