So we decided that since we had a long weekend for the Thanksgiving holiday, we should go do something, see something, hear something...just something! Since we have been here, we haven't really ventured to far out of Abu Dhabi. I started browsing the web for affordable things to do in the UAE...I wanted to find something that everyone would be able to enjoy! I think that I was successful....
So what did we do? We went to the 10th Annual Al Ain Acrobatic Airshow, the Al Ain Zoo, the top of Jabeel Hafeet mountain, dinner at TGIFriday's, and then UAE National Day fireworks in Abu Dhabi! Was it all affordable? Well for the entire day's activities we spent approxiamately 700AED. That is $190.57 for those of you who would like to know the currency conversion!
Not bad huh? Not bad at all!! I think that we did a pretty good job at meeting the expense requirements as well as everyone had a really good time!
We learned a lot of culutral and historical things about the acrobatic feats of the airplanes and their features. As well as some very interesting things about Jabeel Hafeet...tombs and artifacts were found during the making of the road that provides visitors with a path to the top of the mountain. It was a beautiful view and an awesome temperature...nice, cool, and breezy at 4000ft. The zoo was a really nice zoo. I think it was one of the cleanest and nicest zoos I have ever seen. There were no stinky animal smells, and that was something I could appreciate! HAHAHAH!!
I have posted a few of the pictures from our day out!
