TRUE!!
n by the way, i totally agree with what was written abt the horrible conditions of those poor dreamers ( or probably compelled) workers comin from india n pakistan....the situation sucks, indeed...n each time i c such a horrible condition ( especially makin them work in the boilin heat of the summer in construction fields or wherever) is totally non human...n as u mentioned, salaries r cut 2 more than the half just on the pretext that when it's converted into rupees, it'll b more than what they dream of...but they never take it on the basis is that they should b paid accordin 2 what they r doin....i say this even if, thank god, i'm totally our of the question (bein from another nationality...n havin 1 of the best jobs..)...anyway, some action needs 2 b carried out!!!

Awesome
This Mosque as I said was just awesome, the area walking up to Mosque was very well cared for with all the lawns and MARBLE was very impressive. Then we arrived at the Mosque area which was also marble, but every square was for a worshiper to lay down their mat so it did hold quite a few. Then we went in and had to wait a minute to pick our jaw off the ground, the carpet was really magnificent they told us about that and then the magnificent light and all the facts that came with it, the whole place was just mind blowing. thanks.

the writing on the rock
The writing on the rock in your picture says Pakistan (although it is slightly misspelt)

Yes. You've got a point. In extreme cases like this...the change happens/ starts with the oppressed and not the oppressor. Laborers in India need to stop tricking their own brethren...no doubt about it. Sadly...there will always be the greedy without an honest conscience in this world. And for those types, jilting their own mother would not be an issue. :( Gulf Countries themselves do not make the matter worse...but they could at the LEAST better the working conditions of these workers...that was what i was trying accomplish here. Thanks for your comment.

The waterfall.
If u swim to the end then hike a bit then swim through the river again u can get to a opening in the rock face about 30cm wide and if u manage to swim through it theres cave with a water fall... Another note in regards to "with all this brain power would be forced to go build roads in the middle of nowhere for the thankless Gulf countries" ...mislead by their own wealthy people back home is the impression i got when speaking to these workers.... just something worth thinking about b4 pointing the finger.
