Tips : If you have the time, 3 hours from Abu
Dhabi, towards the Saudi border, is Si Bani Yas Island, which has
been transformed to a wildlife reserve. This is certainly a
paradise which you wouldn't expect. Stay at the 5 star Danat
Resort.Noise levels in beach hotels at the Dubai Marina area are
very high due to construction in the area 24 hours a day. Head for
a few days to Oman-and stay at the Shangri-la Al
Husn.
