So we decided on our two week spring break to stay in the UAE and venture out to explore what is in our own back yard. So each day or two I hope to post what we did.
These photos are in the Al Ain Oasis. It is full of paths that wind and twist through the date palm trees in the oasis. Everything was beautiful, and the shade provided by the trees was welcomed! Loved hearing many different birds flying around.
Next we decided to head over to the Sheikh Zayed old Palace. The palace depicted what life was like in Al Ain for Sheikh Zayed and his family. While it is nice, it is not the luxury enjoyed by Emiratis today. Plus there was no air conditioning then, and I'm sure it got very hot!
We spent about an hour wandering through the different rooms and looking at the grounds.
Here are Jacob, PJ and Pat relaxing on the cushions in the guest room.
Here are Jacob and I at the outdoor tent. Most big functions have an outdoor tent with cushions.
Pat, Jacob and PJ posed with an Emirati guard. He looked fierce at first, but once we talked with him he was very friendly and his English was quite good! He even let Jacob hold his GUN!
