I think it was March 12, well one of the Dubai days....
Guide and driver picked us up early and we drove out of town.... Desert, flat with scrub little greens here and there. Not what I had envisioned, but the wide open spaces were refreshing, and quiet.
Good roads. Car alerted the driver when he exceeded the speed limit which was a temptation.
(Taxis seem to have this warning too .....are all cars equipped this way????)
Further along beautiful mountains. Cutting them for concrete aluminum
Along the wadis (streams) date trees b
Lunch and a SWIM IN THE INDIAN OCEAN Felt Fabulous!!!!!
On to another city along the coast... Furairah .......
Fast development, growing into another megalopolis.
Oil refineries and shipping.
On the way back the desert was the way I expected, Dunes and sand.
BUT lots of electric wires crisscrossing into many patterns delivering the needed power into the brightly lighted sparkling city. Once in the cities all wires are underground.
