1st image: the Al Ain-Dubai Road...See?! Not all sand...actually, it's all dunes behind this little grassy bit.
2nd image: From the Picasso Gallery in the area of Dubai known as Satwa...great place to buy textiles, mobile phones, shisha pipes...well, just about anything you might want, but is there really anything else in life?
3rd image: Multiple fanoos (shame on me for not knowing the plural)
4th image: Dubai bus stop. Not the most comfortable place for a woman to be, though I've seen random women sitting in the front of the bus now and again. Expats earning peanuts rely upon the bus system to get around.
5th image: Dubai as taken from Jebel Ali

Hey, Awesome pics..!! I checked out your Yahoo! Albums as well...some really good pics there too...!! You got any movie clips to post ..??
Masha'Allah, really nice pictures.:)
I love the Satwa place. I really need to go on vacation soon. Screw Egypt, Dubai sounds more fun!
I not only like the pictures, I envy the weather you're in!
Hey Gautam! I do have a few movies, but haven't gotten round to posting them. I really regret not finding the time to meet up!!!
Thanks, Manal!
OM, just think: if you wait a couple more months, Sharm will be perfect weather, and if I could choose b/t Dubai beaches and the Red Sea, I'd go Red Sea!
Carmen, I'm back to the muck again. Sigh.
Oh, suck! I am so jealous :) I want to go back.. hwo long do you suppose it would take me to walk from UAE to Jordan?
Pack a good pair or six of Birks, Julianna. That's one hell of a drive, let alone walk...might get sticky around KSA.
You know before my husband's family moved from Saudi to Jordan, it would have been fine. Darn nomadic Arabs :)
Great pics! I know what you mean about trying to sort through and pick out the best. I never did manage to post a lot of the pics I took in Shanghai, as there were just too many... and, in the 3 months I spent in Egypt, I took over 1500 pictures!!!!!!!!!
I want those lamps!
I want those lamps!
Thanks, Salihah!
Salihah, those lanterns are sometimes sold in the US in places like "World Market", but they're a bit overpriced, as where the ones in this photo. They're clean and all, but I kept thinking to myself, "I would pay next to nothing for this in Egypt."
