Our third car a Honda Civic was all right. The roads are extremely good if there are any. There are only two choices, very good roads or no roads at all. One important thing is the tide. Low tide and high tide.
Tide changes every six hours and the tide is four hours earlier on the east coast.
Check the local papers for tide-time in Dubai and calculate the rest. Monday early morning we started birdwathing in Sharjah and Khor Khan. House Sparrows and Crested Larks were everywhere. In these water-areas we saw a lot of herons, waders and gulls. He also told us to go to Umm Al Quwain if we wanted to see the Socotra Cormorants.
