Few Lads Visiting, Ideas Of What To Do?

[After_Shock]

As the title really got a few of the lads coming across mid November just on the hunt for a few suggestions on what to do, other than go out getting drunk everyday as will probably end in some sort of disaster!

Probably looking at a desert safari trip type thing as one idea.

Try and get a meal near the fountains at the Burj, still not done that myself, any ideas on a good place to eat to get a view of it?

Has anyone done the Sharjah gun club? Read very mixed reviews on that!

Any other ideas please feel free to throw into the mix?! Only had a couple of nights out since I got here and either been working or flat hunting/moving so not really done anything since I got here!!

A day at a water park is always a good with guests.

Abdel Wahab in Souk al Bahar for the fountain views, ask for a terrace seat.

Any of them play golf? Perfect weather now

Thanks for the tip on Abdel Wahab, to be honest didnt even know Souk al Bahar existed!!

Regrettably none of us play golf otherwise have been an ideal opportunity, everyone at work is gettinge excited at this time of year to go and play.

Lol, will hold my hands up ive never tried but it has no interest to me at all, lots of people I work with play it so I do miss out on a fair bit but thats the only disadvantage I suppose!!

Quad biking near Hatta is good fun.

They have a decent selection of quads to rent including Banshees (350cc two stroke) and Raptors (700cc).

Skydive not for me but good idea!!

Quad biking could well be in with a shout though.

On the fishing how many people is that based on going out?

6-7 people, i'll ask for a price list and contact no. and post here.

i am promised that i will catch a fish, which will be the first time ever and i will prob get far too excited. here's hoping it's a tuna

I dont think a goldfish in a bag can be classed as catching a fish at sea!?

Be very good if it was a Tuna, probably rip your arms off trying to get the thing back onboard however!

the guy who is organising it has caught tuna there before. last week he caught a mahi mahi which is a seriously ugly looking but apparently hard fighting fish.

i am not allowed to drink on board so i bloody better catch something!

Risky!

The only thing I have ever caught on any deep sea trip was the sun.

Copious amounts of lash helped though.

Just googled Mahi Mahi, impressive looking thing, as you say ugly!! Well done however.

Trip up the Burj Khalida
Night on the lash around Bur Bubai has got to be done
Old part I'd :Deira by the creek for the markets etc
dinner/drinks at maidin at Jumeirah
Free beaches close to the Burj al Arab
Quad biking
Desert safari
Dubai mall for big indoor fish tank

Otherwise it is just drinking and eating, drinking and eating

Oh yes, as said, Atlantis water park

[dxbtiger]

I think the water parks here are wk.

Plus sides of Atlantis are a great lazy river and lots of fake boobs.

Fishing trip is always a winner - Mahi Mahi or Dorado as they're known on menus are fighting b*stards who'll give you a decent work out. Taste pretty good on the BBQ though. Barracuda are vicious too, but aren't so tasty.

Last time we went out on the water in Fujairah - circling all the oil tankers (mahoooosive) for 6 hours - we caught 2 Dorado, 2 Queen Fish and 2 Baracuda. Freezer has been stuffed for a while.

Fujairah is a much better spot to fish than Dubai, our next trip is going to be in Muscat in November - that's where you can catch tuna or shark...
