Tuesday, June 30, 2009. 12:59. Dubai, UAE
Dubai Emirates airport lounge. Heard the Call to Prayer here in the airport. V. cool. Glorified layover: checked in to the hotel at 2am last nite and have a 230 flight today to Istanbul. Saw camel riders on the beach from the hotel. Desert haze clutches impressive skyscrapers in a 113 degree F, dry-death-hot grip. Note to Lawrence of Arabia (P. O’Toole and Mr. Lean): Larry would have died from heatstroke out there in a matter of hours...no long treks on foot across the dessert….
Must come back in winter….perhaps...
Hummus, dolmas, etc deelish….
