I was in Abu Dhabi 3 weeks ago for a week trying to solve lots of lighting control issues at the Ferrari World theme park at Yas Island. There was plenty of beer in the hotels there!
Abu Dhabi has a really different culture that Saudi Jez.
My first stop is in Bharain for 3 days which is fine for having a few beers. But Saudi is entirely different and is a completely non alcohol state. I was there for 2 weeks last year and ended up with Diet Coke coming out my ears!
