Stayed at Beach Rotana - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
City Airport Terminal: thought this would be convenient to check in and with free shuttle to airport, however Etihad customers cannot use it as they do not have a counter there (yet). Not a great deal to do in AbuDhabi as such, but good for a suntan and relaxation at a third the price of Dubai (would still like to see Dubai though). Dubai is not too far away (taxi driver said an hour and a half...depending on traffic - negotiate fair before hand). Also thought the desert safari's sounded good.

Stayed at Burj Al Arab - Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
If you do nothing else, go on a desert safari. We used Desert Rangers, who were great - lots of zooming up and down the desert sand dunes in a 4x4 Landcruiser, visit to a camel farm, sunset over the dunes, and a barbecue supper at an Arabian camp with belly dancing, henna painting etc. Not nearly as touristy as I expected, and the kids loved it too.
