Do you know if there are other cities that have skyscrapers than Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?
I have heard that Fujairah(don't know if itīs spelled correctly) has some. And what about the others?
Can you please post pics of other cities in UAE(even if they don't have large skylines)?

Fujairah has one large tower (about 150 meters) with a pretty much empty empty mall in it and Ras al Khaimah has what seems to be am ambitious boulevard with some towers under construction. Umm Al Qaiwain had one Adbu Dabi Islamitic Bank tower that had something like 13 floors to it. Every city seems to have a Etisalat (UAE Telecom) tower with a characteristic golf ball on top of it. Some miles north of Fujairah one can find a Medidien (http://www.lemeridien.com/united_arab_emirates/fujairah/hotel_ae1782.shtml) hotel (in the middle of nowhere) which has an odd number of floors.

Thanks for the photos. There seem to be some lower highrises in Fujairah also.
