you need to go take walk around Souq Waqif (someone please correct me if i got the spelling wrong) .. this is in the evening .. havent been there during the day time ! here u can sample some of the food .. have some nice sheesha .. check out the souvenir shops along the main courtyard .. have some coffee .. its nice ..

for the beers .. well u could drop in at Ramada .. they have a live band playing some good retro n stuff .. good atmosphere .. you could book a desert safari and check out the dunes and inland sea .. let me know if want more details .. take care and have a nice stay :)

life goes on ..
