Woke up early and Kiera, Landy and I drove to Sharjah (30 minutes) to check out the early morning fish market. It was really cool - huge Dhows were coming in with fish and selling them in a long, open air fish market along the water. They had every kind of fish you could imagine including a lot of shark. We were tempted to buy this HUGE shrimp that we found, except we had no cooler and it was kinda a 100 degree ride home in the trunk. Next time.

We stopped a cool mosque next to the water - not old, but huge. Also went to the "Blue Souq" which is famous - it's beautiful on the outside, but the souq itself was a big disappointment. It had been turned into an air conditioned shopping mall.
