Hi,I just used the new Etihad park and ride service from Dubai Marina Mall last week,there are 10 buses per day and you park for free.The bus we travelled on had seatbelts and travelled at no more than 80 km.On the return we decided to take a taxi back as otherwise we had an hour wait for the coach to depart,the taxi cost 270 dhs.HTH.

I can highly recommend Tailorworks in Satwa..it is located in the small mall behind the Iranian hospital.The owner is a Thai lady,I had mye wedding dress altered by her in 2007(I bought it from The Wedding Shop in Jumeirah Centre and they recommended her)she did an excellent job and also made my bridesmaids dress from scratch.3 friends have since had wedding dresses altered there and all been extremly happy.

[color=#000099'>Pomegranate..... once you have reached your target you go into consolidation............... you can then add most things to ur diet - fruit, starches etc and you can have a 'treat'once per day for a meal ie breakfast, or go out for dinner or slap up lunch etc. But you can only do this at one meal time in that day. Then each Thursday (or whatever day you pick) you eat nothing but protein again. So basically they let you start to eat normally whilst taking into account not to overindulge and then also to keep you on track with the protein day.[/color'> In the book it says that you can have 'two unrestricted meals per week' not 'one per day'.The consolidation phase lasts for quite a long period 5 days for every 1ib lost and other food groups are reintroduced slowly in a certain order and quantity.This is then followed by the stabalization phase. <em>edited by michamen on 16/04/2011</em>

This is what it currently says on the official Uae embassy Uk site,although not sure how up to date it is. Afriend did extend her visit visa at immigration 2 monnths ago for a fee without having to leave the country. [color=#000099'>UK Citizens – Visit Visa Citizens of the UK (with right of abode in the UK) will be granted a free of charge visit visa on arrival in the UAE. No application in advance of travel is necessary. Your passport will simply be stamped with the visit visa as you pass through Immigration at any airport in the UAE. Although the visa may be stamped for 30 days, it entitles the holder to stay in the country for 60 days and may be renewed once for an additional period of 30 days for a fee of £100. Please note that holders of British Overseas Citizens Passport who do not have the right of abode in the UK do need visas to enter the UAE. All visitors should have a valid return travel ticket and a passport valid for a minimum period of six months for tourists and employment. Resident visas and work permits are issued by the relevant authorities in the UAE after an application from a prospective employer[/color'> <em>edited by michamen on 23/03/2011</em>

[[color=#000066'>quote=wuffles'>Corner store at Ibn Battuta just last week-sorry can't recall the name-only that one was in the window and it seemed an odd store to stock them![/color'> The shop in IB is called Bauhaus and they have a small selection. Check out Lou Harvey bags http://www.louharvey.co.za/products.html,they are very similar and are available in Dubai from a lady called Irene Kelly,I bought a couple from her at the Expat woman fair last year.

[[color=#000066'>quote=hooters'>apparantely the implications wont be so big. Hariri is a Saudi running Lebanon and this was bound to happen at some point because Hezbollah has a military in Lebanon and is quite powerful. This is all over the UN report which will probably show that Hezbollah was involved in the murder of Hariri's father. There are so many political groups within Lebanon that it was only a matter of time before another one took over.[/color'> Sa'ad Hariri is not a Saudi he is Lebanese.The implications of this could be huge...the people of Lebanon deserve a break.
