Seven Emirates in Seven Days...

...well not quite. having visited Dubai and Abu Dhabi a couple of times i thought it was about time i got out and about to see a little more of the country during the winter break. As promised, here are the pics however i must apologize in advance as my photography skills are not all that and whenever theres been a picture perfect moment ive been so absorbed that i forget to take a pic! Nevertheless here they are...


its not much to look at but this really is out in the bush in the middle of nowhere near a place called Falaj-Al-Moalla. The eerie silence really is a bit unnerving for city folk like us.


A road into the mountains in Ras-Al-Khaimah

The other half doing an impression of Rio's 'christ the redeemer' deep in the mountains. can you spot the mountain goats in the background?!


A morning stroll along Ajman beach. its nice to have the whole place to yourself!

wadi bashing near wadi Asimah. only accessible in a 4wd, a challenging track that winds its way through the mountains.

stopping for lunch in wadi Asimah.


On the road through the mountains to Fujairah.

Hatta pools....

where the water has carved some amazing shapes out of the rock.
sunset from Jabal Hafeet (the local mountain) in Al Ain.
Abu Dhabi Corniche. A very nice place to take aan afternoon stroll!

its late so i'm gonna call it a day. more to follow soon.
