    Nice to have someone from Dubai in the fc. I hope you can show us many sights of a region that still remains unknown to me, although I'm extremely fascinated by countries such as Yemen. I like the dry heat of the desert, the colours and the quietness.
    And I like this view of the "Manhattan of the desert".

    Thank you for your comments.
