Local Attraction Review: Al Noor Island

If there is one place in the UAE, where you can almost forget that you are in a desert, even if you sit outside and close your eyes, that has got to be Al Noor Island in Sharjah. This lovely little island is so cool and calm, filled with a wide variety of trees and plants which lend a naturally lush and verdant feel to it. This green vegetation attracts a lot of birds and it is delightful to hear them all twittering and chattering away to their heart’s content. Combine this with water gently lapping on the shore and you have a perfect slice of paradise under your feet!

Local Attraction Review: Mattel Play! Town

I had reviewed Green Planet in City Walk sometime back on this blog. When my daughter and I were visiting Green Planet, I noticed another placed called Mattel Play! Town in City Walk, which also seemed like an interesting place for kids. I made a mental note to visit it some other day. I came back home and did some googling about this new place and read a lot of good stuff about it as a result of which I decided to include it in my mommy bucket list.

A few weeks later, Cobone, the super awesome deals website in the UAE was running a competition and I happened to win! Yay! Thanks Cobone!
