Road Trip! Road Trip!
Another Wednesday evening in Al Ain with the boys…
The border crossing into the UAE but you didn’t see it here as no photography is allowed!
The Kung-Fu Panda looks right at home in the Al Ain mall next to white dishdashas and black abayas!
Jonathan at Trader Vics in Al Ain
Yeah! I couldn’t think of a better way of trying to sell baby seats!!!
They’ve even got their own little amusement park at the Al-Ain MAll.
AL JAHLI FORT, Al Ain, UAE
Al Jahli Fort was built by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Khalifa (Zayed the first) in 1898 AD. The fort is square in shape and has three towers with a number of rooms. It has a separate round tower and this tower became one of the main architectural features in Al Ain.
Jahila Fort is a traditional mud brick fort and is one of Al Ain’s oldest landmarks and its largest fort.
