Maafi Parklife

Al Ain is famous, at least within the UAE, for its wonderful parks and gardens. Now that its cooling off, we can finally get out and enjoy them. Well, after 4pm we can...

Why 4pm? What's going on with the rest of the day? I asked once and was told it was because everyone is working and nobody wants to go to the park in the morning and early afternoon.

What about mothers with pre school children who would appreciate a stroll through a natural environment rather than a fake one (mall)? What about the elderly, the infirm and all those who are not at 'duty'? ( hate that term for work, I've only heard it here and it makes me fume when I hear it).
