Unfortunately, Keith, no it wasn't the Hilton! it was a hotel right on the edge of the town, with a huge pool like warm soup that we had all to ourselves for hours until it got dark. We did have lunch in the Hilton though. Lovely. And really not as daunting as some of them. I do envy you - it is a good way of life out there. I hope you really enjoy yourself. Jo

Joanna, was it the Hilton by any chance? I stayed in the Al Diar Siji hotel last time I was there. A VERY nice 5* place paid for by the company :-)

Good luck and bon voyage, Keith! My husband has worked in Abu Dhabi for the last fifteen years and now my younger son has joined him out there. On my last visit we had a trip to that area you will be in and stayed overnight in a hotel on the beach. I hope you really enjoy yourself. It is a completely different lifestyle. A good place to learn to dive Joanna

Dee, good idea, but think I will be sleeping. Flying Emirates, so would not get bored anyway, have screens in back of seats for films etc.

If anyone wants to see where I will be working, go to google maps and enter Fujairah, you will probably have to scroll right to the coast and down a bit, then zoom in,you can see the runway and the hangar next to the road that I will be working in.
