Driving

Driving over here is an interesting experience to put it lightly. Cars seem to go everywhere. It is common to see two lane roundabouts that have 3 cars wide on them. Or maybe a car just stopped and waiting on the side. Cars doing u turns everywhere, or cars doing over the median strip. The general speed limit is 80km. For the locals it is seen as too slow and most of the time the go flying passed you at miles over 80km. The young Qatari are the fastest. They are not worried about speeding tickets because they just pay them and don't care. They can normally drive to a good general stand though. On the other hand, some of the Indian's are the worst. Driving slow and swaying all over the road.

We have not really ventured out into the dunes yet but believe you me I am keen to try. We are planning to go when it cools down a bit. There are a lot of caches out there that I can't wait.
