There are two airfields to indulge private flying: Umm Al Qaiwain and Al Jazirah and they are about 15 kilometres apart. UAQ for Cessnas etc and AJ for ultralights. AJ in particular is a friendly and lively spot at weekends and becoming very popular amongst ex-pat and Emirati pilots and enthusiasts - Friday seem to be the best day. UAQ has a busy skydiving club. I'm there at least two weekends a month - lot more fun than the malls.
