& civilisation...the contrast with earlier in the day is quite remarkable.
Did some work stuff in the morning but had the afternoon & evening free so managed to meet up with the Middle Eastern Correspondent who gave me a whistle-stop tour of the City. Took in the old part (blink & you miss it!), the public beach (surprisingly quiet), the Marina development (cranes & concrete a go-go), the much publicised Mall & leaky fish tank ;o), the out-of-order Burj Tower & the sand dunes of Al Ain complete with Camel racing..& all that before grabbing a bite to eat!
Interesting place but definitely not somewhere I'd choose to go for my hols.
