On the road in the Middle East

Last week I flew to Oman, to spend a week with an old friend who I used to work with. I used to be an events manager for Sky TV before I got promoted to being a truck driver. :smiley:

Mostly I just laid about by the pool in the sun drinking beer at Ā£8 a pint but I did find time to drive to Dubai, a city I have always wanted to see. I took a few photos on the way. They may be of interest to the old Middle East boys although I imagine it has changed out of all recognition in the last 30 years.

Lulu Roundabout, Sohar.

It cost Ā£8 to fill the tank of my hire car.

Up in the mountains on the way to Dubai.

The Oman- United Arab Emirates border.

Then a run across the desertā€¦

A truckstop in UAE.

Shops and stuff.

The approach to Dubai.

Well, thatā€™s it for now, but Iā€™m going back in October. Any complaints about the way in which these photographs were taken should be addressed to ā€œThe Police, Muscat, Omanā€.
