Goood morning Abu Dhabi!

The sun goes up within dense sand dust, creating an eerie mood. The vast deserts of the hinterlands produce an ever present dust fog, which also covers everything with its fine cover. This is the view I get from my hotel window.

Big, daring development projects abound in the city. The seemingly attractive coastline of the Persian Gulf seems to receive little attention. I haven´t seen any sailboats on the water yet. Upon inquiry I was told that to find dhows I would have to go to Dubai. Let´s see... maybe I will, during the weeekend.
