United Arab Emirates 2004


Trip to Al-Ain


After the conference, Claire traveled to Al-Ain with Jeff Nelson (thanks for the great tour, Jeff!) and Larry and Charles Kelly from Japan.

Jeff first took us to Sharjah, another emirate near Dubai.

Sharjah isn't at all on the way to Al-Ain, but it is much more traditional than Dubai. (Jeff was most kind to make this detour!)
