The United Arab Emirates is a union of seven autonomous states-Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain-which were known as the Trucial States until 1971. The nation has become wealthy from the abundance of oil under it's sands. Each emirate has it's own ruler-Abu Dhabi's also holding the title of President of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai is the UAE's Prime Minister.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are in constant rivalry to outdo each other with grandiose schemes. Skyscrapers emerge from the desert sands, and giant malls sell everything from gold to Gucci purses. Dubai is the best known city in the Emirates, although Abu Dhabi is the national capital and the largest of the emirates.Dubai is currently building the tallest building on earth,Burj Dubai (height as yet undisclosed), has built several resort islands in the Arabian Gulf (Persian Gulf)in the shape of a giant Palm and in the shape of the map of the world.Dubai is the only place on earth that you can snow ski while the temperature rises to 50 degrees centigrade at Ski Dubai at the Mall of the Emirates. Dubai is the world's most international city-80% of the residents were born outside of the UAE. The top of society is dominated by Emiratis, with Europeans and other Westerners just below. At the bottom of the society are Indians, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi laborers who work for low wages in order to send money/food back to their families.

appropriate line and shared an engaging chat with a guy from Britain who was overnighting
in Dubai en route to South Korea + the Philippines. He was on a flight from Heathrow and it took
us awhile to figure that out (since we started by acknowledging we had both

We were woken at the ungodly hour of 3.30am with an alarm call (we'd only got a couple of hours sleep as we ended up watching a couple of episodes of Little Britain in the evening) and 5 minutes later our breakfast arrived! We were brought an amazing selection of pastries, toast and fruit juice, and was just enough to set us up for the day travelling.
We left Al Maha at 4.30am and arrived at the airport a little after 5.45am, just in time to check in for our flight. After the usual prowling ...

There are 3 sections of seats or standing positions. First is in front of the ...
