Traveling in the Middle East we knew that there would be slightly different cultural norms. With those come some different restrictions when you are in public. While many of these could be found at any park in the USA or South Korea, or most any country we have visited so far, a couple were unique to the locale. One you can't see on the sign, perhaps because it is already more law than needs suggesting, in the no alcohol restriction. The entire emirate of Sharjah is a 'dry emirate' and our host told us we would need to travel four kilometers to find anything containing alcohol. Which was good in fact. But the most amusing on the sign for us, and a bit of a bummer, was the 'No Shisha' restriction. Seriously?!? What else are we here for?
