Question Flying in UAE - Abu Dhabi/Dubai

Hi Folks,

I am currently in Abu Dhabi for business right now and will probably get a few days to myself. I have done a quick search on pprune and know there is a flying club in Dubai, I believe this is the only place in the region where you can fly privately, please correct me if I am wrong. I have a JAA-PPL and would like to try flying here if possible, even if it is just a flight along the coast with an instructor. I would be greatful if anyone could give me any up to date info about flying here in the UAE, their experiences and the aero club/flying school at Dubai. Also keen to know the practical differences between flying here and in Europe - I would think the extream heat/humidity this time of year affects aircraft performance and the visibility also looks limited right now.

Thanks in advance, SD.
