“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” Ibn Battuta
Since moving to the UAE we have taken advantage of our location and travelled to many beautiful and exotic places. We have also been on some fantastic short-haul trips during the Eid breaks after Ramadan, so I thought I would share three of the fantastic places we have visited as we approach that time of year again, either just a drive or short flight away from Abu Dhabi.

“In a well-ordered universe…camping would take place indoors.” Morgan Matson
So I finally caved after many conversations, lots of cajoling and much procrastination on my part, (believe me many, many chats and persuasive tactics were used) this expat princess went camping in the desert. Last Friday, I was sipping on chocolate martinis at the 5* Ritz Carlton brunch and this weekend I was climbing dunes, sitting round the camp fire under the stars and peeing in the sand, get me and my diverse lifestyle, impressed much?
“Unbeatable value everywhere we go.” THE ENTERTAINER
I love a voucher! Really who doesn’t? As a newbie expat five years ago I purchased my first copy of The Entertainer voucher book (aka the expat bible as it’s known in my house) and have continued buying them annually ever since, saving hundreds even thousands of dirhams along the way.
