This is the gate to a new development (anyone suprised?). The development is a theme park. Well, actually "Theme Land". Sorry "Theme LandS"! 10km of it.
Dear All,

Possibly the highlight of my trip so far. Driving the Porsche. In the desert. very fast. 😊

My Dad and I took the voiture out to a lovely desert hotel / spa place to eat some Arabian food in the desert. The hotel was nice, but the road to and from was nicer!

Not really that much to say here, except 😊 We went pretty fast. Hood down. It was good. Need to find some way of buying one of these. Hmm....



Well thats it for now. I leave for Bangkok tomorrow so this may very well be the last post from Dubai, but the night is young, so who really knows.

Bye y'all.

Still a desert. You can see the restaurant there. It was really nice until the band came on!

First attempt. Lack of tripod = difficult. Plus there was shisha, music and cocktails. No need to look at the sand.
