Hi,
We took a weekend drive to Ras Al Khaimah, another Emirate in the UAE. To get there, we had to cross through Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain. It sounds like a long distance, but it was only about 120-150km from our place. We went with Momo, our dog, and because of this, we didnt manage to spend much time out of the car, as she would get overheated very soon on the burning sun. We went down to the Beach to let her run a little, drove along some little roads between sand dunes, and of course went to buy Alcohol in Umm Al Quwain since we were nearby.
Here are a few pictures of the tip, enjoy.

This is a left-behind airplane we found in the desert. It seems to be used for giving shade for parking cars and to advertise a nearby hotel. I heard stories that the plane was flown there once a long time ago, and it could never take off again, so they decided to just leave it behind. I dont know what the truth is, but the plane by itself just looked great in the middle of the desert.
This is Momo on the beach….
A place we stopped to drink a coke at…
And finally the desert temperature at 11:30 AM…..
