- sights, places of interest : nothing really, apart from a weird flourecent blue effect on the water that you can see at night from the beach left of the Hilton Hotel and a fort that you can't enter.
- Hot Springs : during the daytime the place looks a bit boring with it's quite ugly surroundings. Ideally you come here in the evening, sink in to the warm springwater pool and enjoy a few hours of relaxing and watching the stars. To be able to get to to the hot springs you need to rent a car or go by taxi.
- car rental : Autobahn rent a car is a good place. We could rent a car for 100 Dirham per day including insurance and unlimited amount of kilometers which seems to be a very good price in comparing with the other companies who asked for 170 Dirham per day. Autobahn lies next to the KFC, email address : www.autobahnuae.com.
- budget hotel - youth hostel : there are quite a few hotels to choose between. The youth hostel is a bit hard to find (the Lonely Planet map is actually wrongly drawn which makes even more diffcult). Simple but clean dorm rooms for five persons. 15 Dirham per person per night (15 extra for non members).
- Friday Market : a big disappointment, the market consists of a tourist oriented group of carpet salesmen along the road. You don't have to visit the friday market on a friday, they sit there every day.
- internet cafe: Computer 2000, next to the Pizza Hut, has one computer, 10 Dirham per hour.
