The other day Kay and I decided to try and find a short cut through the oasis, to Kay's school from my school. On the way we came across this old fort - hard to believe that it was lived in ages ago. We did get to Kay's school but it was no short cut!! Just heaps of dirt roads and convoluted little streets.
When thinking about the Nationals here, it was only a generation ago that they lived as nomads, and traveled by camel. It is only since the 70's - when oil was found - that things began to change and money came into the Emirate. It is a really old culture, but a very new wealthy country.
