Metro station

Still busy with friends and being tourist in the city.

So we have one photo from last month.  I took this one at the way out metro via my mobile. 

Rain in Dubai

Last two days, I was fighting with cold,  and sneezing a lot. I recover with spending whole weekend while sleeping.
Today, while driving to the office,  I was thinking what can I post for today.
The sky was dull,  the humid was high. I would say its gonna rain If wouldn't be in Dubai.
After all those years, there is still a chance to get surprised by the weather in Dubai. 
At lunch break I was looking table to sit outside thinking it will be warm but still I want to sit outside as much as I can. And here the surprise,  there was rain. 😀not rain like a rain but still table and chairs were get raindrops.
I had to take my lunch to the office. Here we have the view from our office pantry with clouds. The windows can not be opened because of the security reasons , only it give 10 cm gap. While I was holding my mobile in that gap the picture comes out tilted. I didn't want to correct it. 😀

Dubai Metro is a driver-less, fully automated rail network. It is launched on 9 th of September 2009.  
still network is quite weak but considering how they reached this level in a short time of period, it is impressive. Day by day it is getting more popular.
Actually in summer time, it is quite challenging to reach the nearest metro station.  :)

The first section of the Dubai Metro (Red line) was ceremonially opened at 9:09:09 PM on 9 September 2009.
Yes! Very special and memorable date and time. 

The Dubai Metro also the first urban train network in Arabian region. After metro started to operation, the number of public bus are increased. New bus route for each station from nearby area are implemented. 
I took this picture last weekend while I was waiting a friend of mine from Metro station. 

The style of the metro station is so Dubai :) but i can't imagine this style in any city which is not newly build.
