Hello people ...
Some are already almost mad at me because I'm soooooo long nix ;-) posted
So then continues:
As mentioned last time, Janice was again visited me and it was - what shall I say - as expected again fantastic with my wife! Since
we both never really in the desert were - apart from the Mohawe desert in Nevada - we then decided to book a desert safari near Dubai.
Now that I have in recent years so a lot of trips booked and hotels and have power over me the word travel agency has brought a chill, of course we have this tour ado including online hotel reservation in Dubai, etc., and if your believe it or not - that was the first thing that has really worked without complaint in the UAE!
Booking - Payment - confirmation all within less than 12h. This is a new world record for the Middle East - is expected to be a foreign company ;-)
So get in the car and after Skyscraper City.
The difference between Abu Dhabi and Dubai is so incredibly high that you think you would be in another country, although it has only 2 hours drive behind.
Dubai MEGA - Giant does not have the dimensions of, for example. Shanghai, but it's a real monster city. The biggest difference is the density of development or in architecture.
Dubai is 90% of high-rises, said in Abu Dhabi yet most of the houses 3 - 5 is tiered - an estimated 150 high-rise buildings currently in AD.
If hot - in AD is the quality of life just much higher, it is more open, friendly and a lot calmer.
But who is on the weekend of Fun, which was put into the car and dash to Dubai.
There is no nation on earth that is not represented there. You can get anything and when I say everything I mean everything you can imagine it now, and who is at high-rise buildings is in paradise.
Besides being the tallest tower in the world "Burj Khalifa" in the center of the city was built, there are architectural masterpieces, which are mainly in the evening with various spots and LED games also put in really great scene.
So check in quickly at the hotel, eat just a bite and then off to the lobby, where we of the Desert Safari - drivers will be picked up.
It was indeed once a little Arabic, because the first came with a half hour late ;-)
Total nice guy of Mohammed, and it's always funny to see if a local comes in traditional dress, but has won the giant sunglasses and the latest mobile phone headset on the ear. Fits about as well together as Mortadellasemmel with banana. (Let a reader know what I mean) In the Land Cruiser
us have expected a couple from France and we drove off to give Abeln with 2 more passengers at the Atlantis Hotel.
Mother and Child:
parent brand "Super Size Me" and subsidiary brand bar code.
The poor daughter was really not one of the party is seated and has read from departure to arrival in a book, which of course is exactly the meaning of a desert tour, but well - if the mother wants, if you please.
The great thing about our driver was in a good mood, the guy has transformed the car during the journey towards the desert into a rolling Arabian disco, and as we min after about 40 then at full speed directly from the highway on the hard shoulder thunder in the sand are - all in the car was suddenly clear
Top swells the cotton - the Mohammed says `s serious.
We first met a couple of other Jeeps on the edge of the desert, all crammed with Tourism - which, admittedly, we were on that day too ;-)
First let air out of the tires, so we have a better grip in the sand.
Mohammed is re-entered and has all asked to buckle up. Then straightened his seat, checked all the instruments and set up a grin that spoke volumes - really! The knew, now I'll show `s the tourists!
First full on the gas, head to the first dune and at breakneck speed up the sand castle, above 90 degrees to the left and with a passion that everyone has thought in the car - ok the 2 min were funny and now we cannot to - thundered along the dune.
The Nina, the first with a loud "Oh ...." Sch commented on - the rest were really only able to scream and I'm sitting in the middle, my hands got to the roll bar and had familiarized spontaneously the same grin on his face as our driver! After 5 min
was clear we had drawn by far the jackpot. No matter which route the other 4 jeeps have taken - we certainly do not.
Mohammed has always maintained good until the other retired coaches are relatively slowly up and down the dunes - and then again ... full can is all that possible cross-- gemma Mitzi!
were after the third dune, the mom and the bookish pretty quiet - pale as the finest French Brie and Nina and I just laugh at everything and Kudern.
I was not sure if I booking the fine print on reading have to because of:
return uncertain - or survival limited knew
but our drivers know exactly what he was doing and the fact that he himself so much was fun, it was just awesome.
We then once a photo and smoking break inserted in the middle of the desert, when the engines were cooled - especially our ;-) and are then in the most extreme Touricamp that you can imagine - I mean, it was funny - but also could have called Camp cliché.
There were Arab buffet was supported at each corner a small business in terms of "rip-off keg" with useless bric-Krams, and later a belly dance show, which by loud music from the CD box. But which has apparently not tolerate the heat and given up every now and then for a few seconds her mind, so the lady swinging with times and times without musical support for the hips.
But what was really strange - the middle of it there was a loudspeaker announcement that now is the Hüttenbar Happy hour and buys all the alcohol, one drink get 2nd free.
We looked only shook his head and watched as the Germans and English, the irreverent Bar have stormed.
Hello? Islamic country - nothing alcohol in public - bissl decorum, please?
But well - is Touritour Touritour and we were set. has
And so promptly as the music always denied the service, the happening again was to end, and Mohammed transported us back into the car.
The small admixture - the food was good? yes thank you - ok then we take back the same route!
Fortunately not, because that would have been a rather uncomfortable ride and the car he could throw ...
He has not won but let `s take on the straight behind the truck a couple of pensioners to lie in the sand drift - in the middle of the night! This was our mood after the show funny again raised considerably and after 40 minutes we were back at the hotel.
2 kg sand in your shoes - tired richer till you drop and a really fun experience!
your greetings Stefan
