Al Ain

 Middle East » United Arab Emirates » Al Ain
Had a day trip to the hills around Al Ain. The town itself is a little tiny country town with nothing special. Not much else to say about it really but sorry for some of the picture quality, I was on my own so a lot were taken on the move through the car window! [View Full Entry]

Hi all, sorry for the long gap, but life here is a lot more fun and have certainly had a lot more work to do... but in a good way. I'm still working on the 08 budget for the Al Bustan, something which I would not even have layed eyes on in The Palace. The trust factor here is fantastic. Had a couple of mates over the other week from South Molle. Pierre & Caroline were on their way home with a stop over in Dubai so we had a great 2 days frantically roaming around Dubai & AD. A huge [View Full Entry]

The time has come to say goodbye to this lovely palace and all that goes with it! The property truly is stunning as are the majority of the nearly one thousand staff. But with anything this big there comes politics and in fighting and this is what I cannot stand about this place. Can and will any hotel ever stack up to this one? But believe me it is only beautiful on the outside. I would rather work in a smaller property where I can actually do my job and enjoy my work! I am still in talks with The [View Full Entry]

I love showing off the palace... If nothing else it truly is stunning!
Some more randomness from my life here. Some from a palace tour I done for some friends and more from the Rugby ball... My last day is now confirmed as the 22nd! At this stage I am taking a job with the Rotana group in Dubai but if that falls through then I'm heading back to Oz. [View Full Entry]

Hi all, Well finally some fun photo's of me out and about this city. Derryn and I recently went to the Rugby Ball and had a ball. Meeting some great people and really starting to enjoy life here. Pictured is Kate (blonde) and her friend Georgie. We met Kate at the Netball Ball and is always a tonne of fun to hang out with. The tequila was flowing and a lot of it was flowing to the floor or down peoples legs as a few couldn't take it! A fun night was had by all, and can't wait for the next [View Full Entry]

Hi all, Well the British royalty is coming in droves. No sooner we get rid of one then his brother turns up! I can't complain as the Aussie big boss turns up next week. Sorry for the lack of out and about photo's but I still have not gotten around to buying a new phone! Only just got a bank account! But still enjoying life here. A very easy existence. Please keep the e-mails coming, they brighten up my indoor days! Love ya all, Scott [View Full Entry]
