under construction...

I took at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)
Even this area is not newly developing area, there was ongoing construction.

typical Dubai

the sand storm is over, but strong wind is still here with us in Dubai.

With this strong wind, we have now clear view.
Also the temperature has dropped dramatically .
one week back the temperature was around 35 deg C. Now we see 18 - 20 deg C evening time.

Wild Desert flower

I shared close picture of its flowers last week. Today I realized I didn't show the plant itself.

First I saw this in the middle of desert at one of safari tour. I thought it is just overthere not here in the city. But I forget one fact that this city was also desert like that.. All those fancy buildings, parks, hotels and highways there was sand and wild plants like this. I am not sure if this one will survive after they completely done Jumeirah Cornish project. 

Man at work

I decided to post this picture after yesterday's post.

Yesterday I shared picture of people who were waiting for a job.

Today, we have a picture of people at work.

I took this picture last week. When I woke up that day, I noticed the light was amazing. I took some reflection pictures from the pond in the golf course. when there is no wind and nice light, the reflection is great. I will post it most probably this weekend.

Afterwards I saw these people. They were coming to construction for their morning shift.

Under construction

Saturday early morning I saw this at the beginning of Kite Beach while we were running.

I couldn't pass without taking its picture. thanks to my phone I did.

What I read on the newspaper, they are planning 16 km running path at the beach..
starting from Kite Beach they completed some part, for the rest is still under construction. :)

I wish they would plant some trees alongside the running path. it is quite difficult to run under the crazy sun.

We were running around SAFA Park in the past, its path is fully covered by trees. But this year, there is one big mega project around SAFA Park and going to park is nearly impossible.. of course because of the construction.

Beware of construction

6 years back, when I moved to Dubai, everywhere was under construction. I thought it was temporary but after 6 years I can say, no it is not.. Dubai is under construction and it will not finished in near future. they are starting new project before the previous one completed.

So be aware of construction vehicles,
You may see them at any time or anywhere especially at least expected time and places.

Under Construction

I took this picture couple weeks back, the traffic was nearly stopped.
It is kind a summary of this city; "under construction"

before the recession (at the of 2008) it was said that approx 25-30 % of the world's construction cranes were based in Dubai.
After Dec 2008 the demand dropped dramatically
Last couple of years all projects has speed up again. After EXPO 2020 announcement more constructions are expected in Dubai.
