Touch down desert city.

14 hours flight brought me Dubai, the city built on the sandy desert.
Thankful modern technology allows air passenger to over look the ground through the camera on the beneath of the aircraft. Yes we call it desert. But very different desert from Arizona or NT . It is real sandy desert.
The first aired in smells sandy and sandy dust sky outside.

First or business class air service doesn't end at the immigration check point. There is fast lane for those passengers.

Now road to hotel, I am originated from 70's developing country. I am familiar with these massive constructions every where. Here is quite reminding that.
On the wide yellowish flat block of area, one thirds are tall buildings, another one thirds are half erecting buildings, last one thirds are high cranes twice as tall as next buildings. Enormous dust and sweaty workers. Very rare in betweens.

The driver says it is Friday, weekend holiday, so traffic is good.

Mosque is everywhere. It is said ine should be in 5 minutes walking distance for every Muslim man. All men are supposed to go and pray 5 times a day. So not unusual to see a single standing mosque in the flat construction block with no other buildings.

PS: No wonder to see a quran instead of a bible in the hotel room.
