Have been trying for a while to get a good pic of the satellite dishes here. The free TV isn't that great but LOTS of channels on sat dishes. What cracks me up is that some people live in the most run down hovels but have a satellite dish - shows where their priorities are!

The Fraud House
From the front
DIshes on the roof
Looks like more dishes than apartments can be fitted!
The Whole Group
We managed to get organised enough for a group pic before we left - I'm in the middle at the back.
Pool Bar
Ok so nearly all the adults that went in this shot- Chris and Anna were upstairs in the bar. Who's looking after the kids?
The two laned road to get there
Ok so this road is meant to be two lanes but thanks to a very recent sandstorm we were driving on what we could find! Sand sweepers anyone?
With Kalala at my birthday dinner
Drinking a Scorpion and she had a Samoan Fog Cutter!
Sandstorm
Looks like rain but actually sand
Daily Sight
Camels being taken around is a pretty common sight (love it!)
Jabel Hafeet
The view of Al Ain from the highest sand dune in the area
Clock "Tower"
This is by a roundabout - when I first got here I thought the clock tower roundabout would be easy to find - my idea of a tower is a tall object!
Burj Duabi
Amazingly tall building being built - for perspective, the others you can see are 50-60 stories high!
My hotel
The Palace by night - beautiful!
Ski field in the middle of the mall!
This is in Mall of The Emirates - looked like a lot of fun but I wasn't appropraitely attired.
