Dubai

 

A dazzling place with mind-boggling architecture, in the summer, brutal heat, a beach where you can swim, but there is a Muslim anti-picture taking patrol there, protecting the 'modesty' of the beach goers. An ocean that every year in Sep/Oct gets visited by stinging jellyfish, a fantastic mall, that tops all of the others that are in the city, the Dubal Mall, and beyond that, probably countless business opportunities for the right people. Oh, also a great place for bachelors to pick up a Filipina or liberated local girl, or even an Indian babe. Given all of that, having been there, I see no pressing reason for a return visit. For those interested to go, it is an easy place to travel to and around in.

A racing boat, powered by oars. There must be some festival where the are raced

 

A reference to the old fishing and trading sailboats that used to come here and also were built here

 

How the old, pre-boom Dubai used to look like
As in Las Vegas, similar but different, a pyramidal hotel with buildings like this for the entrances

 

About 5 minutes by taxi from the Coral Deira, and you will be at the long distance bus terminal, operating out of a small office supply, where I got my ticket to Muscat, Oman. There are two buses a day, btw, 0700 and 1500, that's all.
