A
Al-Meshwar
Long the most popular eatery in town, this excellent restaurant (in a bizarre building that looks like a cross between a set from the Flintstones and a crusader castle) serves up the best Lebanese food outside of Lebanon. The appetiser plate is delicious (the spicy sausages are scrumptious!) and excellent value. Add a fattoosh salad and baba ghanooj and it's enough to fill two. Make sure to try the fresh pomegranate juice. If you're with a big group, phone ahead and order the house speciality Ouzie (a moist tender roast whole lamb with rice and pine nuts). Sit in the sheesha section downstairs – the people-watching possibilities alone make a visit worthwhile.

Bull Butting
The popular spectator sport of bull butting , held in an unassuming dirt area on the southern outskirts of town (before Al-Rughailat Bridge) has been held in the area for centuries. Bulls are brought here from all over the UAE to lock horns and test their strength against each other. The Emirati families (this is one sport that sees just as many female spectators as male) park their cars in a circle and stand and sit in front of them, forming something of an arena. The five or six Emirati men who judge the event sit cross-legged on the ground quite close to the action. While a wandering bull sees spectators racing for their cars, the judges rarely flinch.

Fez Bar
The nicest place in town for a drink or a sheesha is Mediterranean-style Fez Bar, but unfortunately its lovely alfresco terraces overlook the busy road. While there's no traffic noise inside, you'll be battling it out with a large-screen TV or bad Filipino band. The bar menu spans mezze to fish and chips.

Maharath Al Bahar Cafeteria
Popular with local Emirati guys who pull up in their 4WDs and honk their horns for service, this clean cafeteria is a great place for shwarma, falafel, toasted sandwiches, wraps, burgers and fresh juices. Try the multi-coloured ‘thabakath' cocktail with layers of avocado, mango and strawberry juice.
