Even though the sell of alcohol is highly restricted in the UAE, you can find alcohol here. You have to drive about 30 minutes outside of town to a place called Barracuda. It is funny because everyone knows where it is and when you ask people how to get there, they tell you to drive on the road until you see the airplane in the field and then turn left. The directions seem nuts but here's a picture of the airplane - you can't really miss it!
It is an old Russian cargo plane sitting by an old landing strip.

The store looks like a huge duty free store on the inside. The outside is a pretty dull building without windows and by the sea.
Inside people push shopping carts around (often one for the man and one for the woman) and fill them completely. Since it is a bit of a drive, when people "make a run" they really stock up. When you check out, everythig is wrapped in black bags to conceal the prohibited product.
