Do you perhaps know of a 4×4 club (I know there is an Arabic one, but don’t know the name), which we could join for 4×4 driving in the desert? Also, do you know where I can get sailing lessons? Lastly, is there a typical Brazilian restaurant in Dubai? It will be great if you could help.

For a 4×4 club contact Off-Road Zone, they offer lessons and trips. Sailing lessons can be taken at Dubai Offshore Sailing Club, Dubai International Marine Club and Watercooled at the Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa.

As far as typical Brazilian restaurants go, try Sweet Brazil at Dubai Ladies Club or Jumeira Lake Towers and Pachanga at The Hilton. Hope this helps.
