Hi Joe…Hope you don’t mind I’ve added a link to your Dubai pix page for my students (ENG 301 Advanced Composition, Missouri Western State University). They just finished reading George Saunders’ “The New Mecca” in the 2006 Best American Nonrequired Reading. Great pictures! — Prof. CJ Jeney

yea Dubai is ok. I'm a merchant mariner and we tie up in Jebel Ali (about an hour's drive away) all the time. He's missing a few things. Steer clear of most of the hotel bars. Hookers hang around in there and will blatantly ask for a "fare" (such as in the Astoria, York, and a few others).

Etisalat SIM cards are around 140-170 dirhams (you get a balance of 10 dirhams intially), but can be charged up by any phone card (20,30 or 40 dirhams ea.), and you can usually get them at just about any electronics store (such as in the so-called "electronics souk" near the Astoria hotel).

If you have any other questions, ask over @ my blog.

nice pics, it’s so bad surfing blogs when you are supposed to be working… you get side tracked planning your own next trip!
