There is little chance you will see anything but concrete and shopping malls in the Emirates unless you have Arab friends there to show you sea, desert and fantastic food... Oh and for culture, Sharjah is certainly not bad. However, think about the wonderful Persian carpets as we know them. Dubai is at present one of the best places to buy originals. My Arab friends showed me many shops with great variety, the possibility to ship it for free and the certificate. No, a carpet is not a scruffy old fashioned thing you expect at your gradparents' place. Everybody from the Eastern hemisphere knows that. It is a piece of art and there are so many styles, everybody can find a piece to go with their furniture. So this is the first tip in travelling somewhere for free because you are combining things: Take a cheap trip to Dubai (must be possible now) and go for a big, beautiful rug...
