The Boleh Blahhhh!!! Blog

Just got back from Dubai this morning , arrived around 3.15am Malaysian time. The flight was delayed for one full day due to engine problem. As usual dpt free hotel stay etc etc….

I was sent to Dubai for a month long SAP security implementation project over at Panasonic Middle East. The trip was quite fun and all..but I kinda miss malaysia. I’m not really used to living in a desert (granted there’s trees here and there in Dubai) but still you dont get that forest smell , weather was quite arid…oh well enough bumbling here are the pics!

Sunset at Jumeirah Beach. This is quite near Port Rashid…used rear-flash mode for this and long exposure to get the ambience of the sundown setting (camera geek talk warning!) - "the first shadow for the ppl walking was due to the initial flash and then a last curtain flashed as the shutter closes.." (end camera geek talk)

Sometimes I’ll go around the old town of Dubai.They have Gold souq and all this marketplace selling cheap cheap stuff la…so anyway it was around Isya’ time so i went into a mosque to pray and also quitely take some pictures hehe…

My last weekend in Dubai - rented a Ford Focus and drove following the easterly wind to Fujairah on the east coast of UAE. Here in the beach of Kor Khaban , a family is about to go on a leisure boat drive which will take you along the beach and Fujairah Free Zone Port.

this in the middle of the Hatta desert, about 30 mins east of dubai. We were lepaking near a camel farm where you can take pictures with the camel etc…but ended up taking this sun picture instead ha ha..

Went up the Jaleel Habeet mountain near Al Ain. It is about an hour and a half southeast drive from Dubai..

This is located near Bidya .. an old fort about 400 years old..

Dubai old town is separated by a river that flows out to the Persian Golf..locals call it the creek. For a mere 50 fils (about 0.50 RM) you can take a ride on the abra (wooden boat) to cross the creek..if you wanna take car - with traffic and all it will take you 30 mins to cross the creek haha..yeah traffic is pretty bad in Dubai..

went on a Desert Safari tour where they will take you on a 4wd and drive like roller coaster up and down the sand dunes. After that we were treated to Arabic BBQ dinner and belly dancing! yallla yalla ya habibi!

along the way to Fujairah , i’ve stopped by the highway to take this picture ..
