I have been waiting a long time to experience the place that the whole world is talking about Once you pass the Coffee Pot Roundabout pictured you know you have left Al Ain and you are on your way It is a 1 122 hr.  drive from Al Ain to Dubai but it is a a beuatiful ride minus all the construction thats going on.

                    <description>I love it that every plant has its own irrigation system with it.I love that when workers deliver something they put it together for free.  I hate the fact that they dont use deodorant and some smoke in your home.I love that when my internet wasnt working I didnt have to call a number to run me through a time consuming series of prompts and wait days for a technician to come out.

                    <description>One thing I love about living here is that you see Quran manifested every day. Its like the Quran has come alive.  For example when Allah talks about the blessings of date palm trees to the Ummah.  You see it here.  When Allah forbids music you really understand why when you see how music has consumed the Arab culture.  When 70 of the channels are music and you see the culture changing and Ar</description>

                    <description>Ok before we get into the camels  Let me clarify something especially since there are many posts that advise to say Al humdullilah appreciate what you have blah blah blah blah blah.  How the blog works for me is I usually start my blog days before you see it.  everyday I try to type something so I dont forget the important things and so that when I do write I am in the moment and you are feel</description>
