Had a wonderful couple of weeks with Thea in town, and a particularly a lovely week travelling around the country with both Thea and my darling mother, who was on the tail end of an epic month long holiday that had taken her across Turkey.
Obviously the UAE struggled to compare with the magnificence of Istanbul or Cappodocia, but I tried my best and a good time was had by all. The pictures (almost all taken by Thea, as I was a photo slacker for the whole trip), click on each for the full-size image:
There's a lot going on in this perfectly composed photo taken at the entrance to Sheikh Zayed's old palace in Al Ain:
A view of the beautiful Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi, looking mirage-like on the horizon as seen from Futaisi Island:
Thea being a good, honourable housewife and serving imaginary guests some imaginary coffee:
Me being a good, honourable husband and slaving over a vast couldron of imaginary rice:
Abu Dhabi skyline as seen from the breakwater / Heritage Village:
My darling mother taking in the amazing Madinat Jumeirah:
My darling mother and Thea, in a surreal universe where we all grew up together in Iran:
Like the first picture, there's a lot going on in this photo, taken as we were arriving by boat to Futaisi Island:
Me and the darling mother enjoying some quality time together at the best pool in the world, located in the Bab al Shams hotel:
