spot the bird

Yesterday evening the sunset was really good. I really like the weather in winter time. We have fog early in the morning but afterwards most of the time we have clear view unlike summer time.

Kite

I took this picture at the beach. one of public beach is called as Kite Beach. I didn't take this at Kite Beach but even at that time, thanks to the strong winter wind, there were many kites above our head.

flying with birds..

I was planning to post about the world record thing which I mentioned yesterday, But once I opened my computer, I saw this one and changed my mind. I hope you will forgive me. :)

Yesterday there was a boy who is flying with his skate bord, Today I have another flying guy with paramotor. I took this photo last Friday during 5th Dunai International Parachuting Championship. The championship will continue till this weekend.

Before their acrobatic show, I was thinking if I can do it or not. After I saw their show... I can say, I juts scared.
Maybe one day, I can find enough courage to try this. I am sure the view from over there will be awesome.

sunrise at desert

In these days, again I am extra busy. It is quite difficult to take new pictures and share something fresh with you.

Thanks to my archive, I have still unseen and still valid pictures. like this one. : )

It was taken during sunrise at desert.

If you have 4 x 4 car and friends with 4x4 as well, you can go desert for camping by yourself and enjoy sunset, night and sunrise all together.  It is not safe to go only one car or even two cars. Generally people advise to go off road with min 3 4X4 vehicles.

This option doesn't work for me, so I am telling you the easiest way.. go like a tourist.. :))

There are many companies providing safari tours. Most of the package is starting with sand dune ride, quick stop at falcon village and following stop will be for sunset, The tours end with barbecue dinner plus 5 mins stargaze. There are also one option in some safari tour companies. you can combine safari tour with overnight stay at desert. After stargaze instead of returning to the city, you will go to your tent at desert, If you do that, you should wake up very early to enjoy the beauty of sunrise and the calmness at desert.

When ever I have visitors outside from Dubai, I advise them to experience desert safari at least. Plus if they have enough time, overnight stay at desert.

I prefer to go with Arabian Adventures. There are plenty of companies but Arabian adventure is the most professional and the safe one. You can pay extra for the security and their professionalism. You will not regret for that.

Sunset at Internet City

Yes, yes it is called "internet city" ..
In Dubai, the naming of places is... let's say, a bit different

For example; knowledge village, Media City, Internet City, Sport City, Heath City ....

in knowledge village you will find many universities, language courses or any other educational places..
in Media City, you will find most of big news channels.

Oracle, Microsoft ABB they are in Internet City..
...and you can guess the rest.. :)

if you go further into the land towards to Oman border, the landscape will change dramatically. rock will takes the place of sand.
