On driving through the emirates you find the most creative round abouts |
They certainly love their roundabouts preferring them to traffic lights |
They're usually huge |
And show the local love of arabic culture and history |
This even extends to a few petrol stations |
On leaving any town there is always a sign like this |
And then you drive along a motorway lined for miles and miles with palm trees, sometimes you see farms through the trees |
But at some point the trees stop and all you see is the desert - and sometimes a few camels! |
The super cool panorama function on dad's camera - spot the camels :) |
Soon the landscape changes and the flat desert becomes a sea of dunes |
A popular sport is to go dune driving |
But we got hungry.. |
That fish wash actually pretty good | ... |
Continuing on it got pretty sandy |
That's a natural speed bump right there! |
Another thing to watch out for... |
And there they are! |
Awww |
Awwwwww |
But soon the police came to herd them along off the road |
toot! toot |
toot! toot! toot! |
haha! so cute! |
Later the landscape changes again |
And we drive through the mountains |
We stop at a roadside commercial centre, there's dad talking to an Afghan carpet merchant |
An antique store |
with more carpets |
But eventually we cross the mountains and reach the sea! |
Despite the heat, nobody is swimming. We have to drive on to the hotel :) |
