IT GETS AROUND
Got any gossip? Tip off the Taxiwallah: More mirrors..
Mirror.co.uk - News - THE NEW CHIC OF ARABY:
"And it is here you get a glimpse of an Arabia that would have been familiar to Thesiger."

And I love this bit:
"As late as 1951, slave trains were passing through this oasis, which straddles the border with the Sultanate of Oman. And it is here you get a glimpse of an Arabia that would have been familiar to Thesiger."
I wonder if Thesiger would argue the fare on the taxi from Al Ain to Buraimi..
The alarming bit for me was at the bottom of the article that stated:
"FIVE nights at the 4*+ Sheraton Abu Dhabi from £663 per person for departures January 1 - March 31 2006, based on two adults sharing.
Price includes breakfast, transfers, and return scheduled flights with British Airways from Heathrow. Contact British Airways Holidays on 0870 243 3406."
Yeesh - at those prices, they had better have "Chip butties and HP sauce" on their menus.
Looks like it's true - they're out to get anyone to come to the UAE.
