If ever there were an oasis in the middle of a big city, then The Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg is the perfect example. Frankly, I’m hard pressed to find anywhere that I’d rather not leave … ever.

After spending the first four of our “Arabian” nights in Dubai (see previous post), it was time to make the approximately 75-minute drive to neighboring Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.
