Just back from a week visiting friends in Abu Dhabi. First time I've been and I didn't realise how big the place was. Great for a visit, and excellent weather (high 30s every day). Went to Ferrari World to go on the world's fastest rollercoaster and we practically had the place to ourselves
Also took the opportunity to jog round the Abu Dhabi F1 track which is open to joggers/walkers/cyclists on a Wednesday night. Amazing experience but helluva hot for a run!
Went to Dubai for a couple of days. Went up the tallest building in the world which was pretty cool. Can't believe how quick the lifts go up 124 floors!
