Promise this is the last!
An amazing place with amazing people. The poverty, however, can be difficult to handle.
On a lighter note, the duty free when leaving the country had an amazing assortment of goods which included;
A standard lamp
An office chair with wheels
A large jar of Coffee
and two large bottles of ketchup
and very little else. Not to worry, off again in a couple of weeks - roll on the subsistance claim

Rossatron - Was over there on behalf of Glasgow city and as an academic exchange programme. Been over a couple of times and other areas of the UAE. It was China last year. Great people but we need an escort everywhere we go because there is a £15k bounty on 'us' at the mo. Having an armed escort at dinner etc does look kinda cool in a " we are obviously worth killing/ kidnapping" kind of way. We had a wonderful meal in a very remote area where they closed off a street and posted armed gurds at each end of the table and at the end of the streets. Big table with white (sic) tablecloth and garlands......or as i called it at the time...a bomb magnet
Good trip, looking forward to going back in couple of weeks.

Reminds me of parts of Bradford I visited by mistake yesterday.

The only thing that's missing from your pics are Lines of Project Kahn Range Rovers mixing it with Halal Grocers

I had to go to blackburn to pick up my CR box and the only shops on the high st were cashconverters (3 of them) and kebab shops. I did not feel happy withdrawing £300 and walking back through town...
