We, me and a colleague landed in Dubai 1 o clock in the night. He is familiar with Dubai but for me it was my first visit. If i knew what i will experience i would not have travelled as if it was
voluntarily.
Dubai is a country that is
continually changing. Skyscrapers are built
intensively and nothing is like the other day like. You will for sure get confused by the magnitude of Dubai and the luxury.
Anyway we took a cab to find an affordable
hotel. It was late so we had to check in at Golden Sands 3. The days that came we had many
business meetings to check out with the suppliers, dealer and retailers for the equipments we want. It turned out to be a hard match trying to do all this in this short time. The biggest
obstacle was the transportation, though we had a rental car all our travel. IT could take several hours some times in rush hour to get from a place to another place. And it is rush hour all the time because it is Dubai so you can imagine trying to do a lot in a day but get stuck in traffic more than half the day.
Anyway the work was a
success. We will maybe need to travel to Dubai in 4 weeks again before delivery of our equipment. It was different equipment for radio stations of
course, music studios, computers, other high tech and media equipment and complete technology labs. I can say this without revealing anything about our projects.
Dubai is a emirate a city that is
unbelievable. You see gigantic buildings and masterworks right in what that was an desert and people from all over the world. It is just amazing. Sometimes when there are road constructions and they dig up holes you get reminded that everything is built up on desert.
It has been able to build Dubai thanks to
foreign expertise and workers. The Sheiks in Dubai are not late in
appointing this and give special credit to the Indians.
It was of
course a reality check and a punch in the face to see this reality after having been working in South Kurdistan 7 months.
Our first and second night was spent here.
Sweden taking a part of this cake of
course like they sold material to Saddam Hussein during the war and genocide against the Kurds.
IKEA
This is a poor
House that you never see in Dubai but you see it here. Mostly Indian and
Pakistanis are living here and often they are 10-15 persons living in one room. It is incredible expensive with
accommodation in Dubai but all the rest it cheap, at least if you see the prices internationally. Hotels and
accommodation is expensive but food is cheap. There are many workers here so the service is really great if not excellent. There are all possible service at affordable price which is good for the
forging workers and the inhabitants and the
professionals.
Of
course
This is outside our next hotel. Not as glamorous but what do you not do for a good project economy. Check out the dudes...
Construction everywhere, ... higher and higher.
Easy traffic
The skiing hall in Dubai maybe you have seen it on discovery channel some late night.
Burj Arab
Hewler restaurant, oh no! Not here also, help somebody...
IT looks like this at the entrance of the offices and there are countless of the, . It assumes you have a pretty good check on the market.
Qendil building material company in the middle of the industry area. Probably he is
Kurd because
Qendil is an amazing
Kurdish mountain chain
Some babes barbecuing at the beach. This is the national dress for Women in United Arab Emirate (
UAE).
Foreign men are forbidden to wear the dress. But for women it is
OK. These women were Indians because their families were sitting besides them.
It was
Friday and our last day of 6 days. It is forbidden to work on
Fridays and we had to accept this of
course, since it is closed everywhere. So
we took a look at the beach. It was not more than just a look because it was red flag and it was forbidden to swim. Very irritating but
obviously necessary because at least a guy drowned this day.
The beach
House in the beach garden, not so bad.
Here are some dudes chilling in
Shorijja that is a
nearbying emirate, city.
One of the respected Sheiks checking out the view.
Here is the
temporarily harbour for the smuggle boats to Iran and some other places.
The famous palms they are mostly ready. I think there are three of them.
The world islands. Only a island is started to be built.
Hewler park from air.
I am not on the pictures as usual. Our guest in blue shirt.
Green Kurdistan, nice view besides from the colour of the water. This is why everybody say you should see Kurdistan in the spring.
Sheladze. We also got time to take a snap of our ongoing project preparation here. It was looking good and as fast as we have got the equipment many youths will have an interesting and instructive occupation.
On our way back.
Blé village area
Wildhorses, they are actually. Since peshmergas do not use horses any more they are free and it is a great view. This is in the Barzani area and especially here the wild live is interesting because of hunting ban.
