This weekend we took a road trip with a couple of friends. The road trip we planned was a very well known one for those living in the UAE, particularly Dubai to a neighbouring Emirate, Umm Al Quwain. I believe the technical term for this particular road trip is "booze run".
Within this Emirate is a tiny little town called Barracuda which consists of a beachside resort, a MASSIVE liquor store and a beaten up 1980's water park. We don't know exactly how or why or what the exact laws in Umm Al Quwain are but basically you can purchase alcohol without a liqour license or limit and it is extremely cheap! The catch is that you have to drive it back across several Emirates to reach home and some of these have very strict muslim laws and alcohol is entirely banned with or without a license....
To make the most of our day we packed our bathers and braved the waterpark. It was incredible.... at best 10 other people in the entire waterpark, it had great facilites, fun water slides, kids slides and play areas. To top off our incredulous luck there was a pool bar smack in the middle. We have all decided to plan a camping trip for next month to the camping ground next door!
Now best I go and look for that form and complete our liquor license.......
