What do you say if 5 plates out of 15 are desserts in my collage from Sharjah? Well, I don’t need to look far as to why I don’t lose weight anymore! I could find vegetarian food in Sharjah. Most of my meals in Sharjah were in hotel buffets. There was a reason for this….

Dress Code for Women in Ajman
I have now visited Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman and crossed through Fujairah. However I have stayed only in Dubai and Sharjah for a few days on separate trips. I hoped over to Ajman from Sharjah on a whim. It was a short day trip, I really did not send much time in Ajman. Still, here…
Sharjah to Ajman by Bus
I sat down to write how to travel from Sharjah to Ajman by bus! And then I realized that all I know is that I traveled between the two points somehow! I didn’t have data on my mobile in Sharjah and that I can now say is a handicap! I didn’t know the distances or…
Sultan Saray Restaurant Ajman, United Arab Emirates
I hopped over to Ajman on a whim, from my trip to Sharjah. It was my free day, and after a lot of confusion (self-created) I eventually stumbled over to Ajman. The choice was a bit of convenience and a bit of serendipity. Sultan Saray was my lunch stop. I will get to it in…

Dress Code for Women in Sharjah
Sharjah, Dubai and Ajman are next door neighbors. My thought before visiting was, “how different can be the dress code for women in the three Emirates?” The answer is very different. I was in Sharjah for few days in February on invitation of Sharjah Tourism Board and Air Arabia. I was in Dubai in December…
A Visit to the Yvel Design Center in Israel
I am not much of a jewelry person, I am more of a camera lens person and believe me the camera lenses are as expensive. I have browsed through jewelry displays before but it was at Yvel Design Center (Israel) that I stood and took notice! It is another matter that almost everything was way too…
Glimpses of Bali
Bali was part of my Trip of Wonders to Indonesia last year. It was the last stop on the tour. I was coming from Raja Ampat, which in my definition is paradise. My stay at Bali was short. Taking such a long time to write about Bali is a combination of these two things, coming…
