Cute camel and Holy crap that looks like fun (dune bashing).

Chai · 5th Feb 2008, 08:24 AM

Wow, the camel is itching?

This reminds me of my friend Ian. He went there late last year and brought back sand as souvenier which he had merely collected off the desert and placed in an old, used bottle. He then distributed it to his friends...all i got was a puny-ass glass bottle filled with sand, no bigger than my pinky's top section (nail and top joint)

=____=;

But anyways he mentioned that the dune bashing thing was uber cool and a must try when visiting the UAE. (and also hot air ballooning) So I bet fiddler must have had a LOT of fun eh

Wow you must have had fun there. Very nice pictures.

Woah.. That's an amazing feat. Didn't know the Land Cruiser could do that!

Chai · 6th Feb 2008, 07:58 AM

Land Cruiser is one of the defacto around those region.

Land Cruiser is the king in all regions...

Crazy offroader that has tons of luxury stuff on it (like console fridge).

is dubai/abu dhabi safe for foreigners to wander around in a group of 2/3? Specifically, walking away from the hot, popular tourist spots to places where visitors can get a better feel of the local's daily life. deep into the city

Never been there but I heard it's super safe. Security should not be a problem as it's a major tourist and shopping destination with lots of rich folks.
