Christian:
You dont see the UAE national flag at commercial establishments in
the UAE. I think there might be some restrictions about its usage,
but I've not checked it out. Flags are available on sale during
National Day celebrations Dec 2- (Hey, thats tomorrow- Holiday!!!)
In Madha, however, I saw a lot of Omani flags- on the roundabouts,
buildings, etc. Maybe they have a separate policy.

(Last time I went into Madha, I did not have Omani insurance. Luckily
nothing happened or else I would have been stuck. I suppose this is
yet another quirk or a risk of crossing investigating international
borders, eh Christian?)

Re: material about Dibba & Kalba, Hamriyah and Al Khan, I'll post
these to you personally. I don't want to accidently step on any
oversensitive political toes anymore!

Al Khan is actually a suburb of Sharjah town and possesses some nice
examples of Arabian Architecture. Actually, you can see the location
of Al Khan on http://www.gis.gov.ae On the Northernmost seashore of
Dubai is a park called "Mamzar Park" and also an inlet of the sea to
the north. On the other side of Mamzar Park, facing the sea and the
inlet is Al Khan. I think it might not be indicated on this map, but
thats the location. It's quite small, actually!

this specific border (because Fujeirah only uses the union flag since
1975), but perhaps a good sign at other borders?

either since they uses the same flags.
