September 2003

After transit in Bahrain I arrived in Dubai. The 34 ° C heat welcomed me at midaysght. I slept at the airport (air conditioning), and at morning I went to see Hatty, Arab museum, village and fort.

During returning from the border of Oman I decided to spend the night in the wilderness. Before I get sleep one of the Ford employee took me on board of the new car which he was tested. We had madness sand dunes ride.

After returning I visited Dubai. Town is a mixture of contemporary and traditional, modern hotels and old houses, businessman from all over the world and local onion sellers. Like in most places in the world, I recommend a little walk without any target, just to see everyday life from in different colours. At the end I saw one of the most expensive hotel in the world, swam in the Persian Gulf and departed to Europe.
