We got a new painting for the 9'th floor office picturing all rulers of the seven emirates. The Ruler of Dubai is the one in the lower left corner.

Starting from the top left they are:

  2. Sheikh Humaid IV ibn Rashid Al Nuaimi -Ruler of Ajman
  3. Sheikh Rashid III ibn Ahmad Al Mu`alla - Ruler of Umm al-Qaiwain
  4. Sheikh Saqr ibn Muhammad al-Qasimi - Ruler of Ras al-Khaimah
  5. Sheikh Hamad ibn Mohammad ash-Sharqi- Ruler of Fujairah
  6. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum - Ruler of Dubai, Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates.
  7. Sheikh Khalifa II bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan - Emir of Abu Dhabi, President of the United Arab Emirates

Small car for small packages


I saw this tiny car at Dubai airport freezone. I'd be scared shitless if I was driving that car among all huge SUVs like Hummers, Escalades and Rangerovers that the roads here are filled with here.

Colorful parking


It looks like I have photoshopped this picture to get all these crazy colors. But I haven't, this is a real photo taken on the roof of the parking garage at Deira City Center.

Clean me u lazy ass


In Dubai a dirty car usually receives a 'fingered' message like this very quickly.
