Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.

Seeing double
My piece last month about the new air-conditioned bus stops appearing along Al Sufouh Road attracted the comment "...there's only enough space for about 10 people inside..."
Hi. I've never been to Dubai but I happen to stumble on your blog. Just wondering, how are those air conditioning bus stops powered? How is dubai enjoying these sort of bus stops? I find them quite interesting!
Are they designed like that so when the shamal hits them, they just roll over? :-)

ReplyDeleteProbably by their oodles and oodles of oil.
Gonna have to switch when they start to run dry. :)
m.majora, no, Dubai actually has very little oil, it's only about 6% of the economy.
ReplyDeletek2, they're powered by the normal electricity supply.
