DESERT ROSE MONOLOGUES - A DUBAI AFFAIR - Dubai

THE ALLURE OF ARABIA, ETC.

"Photographs. Memories. Fragments. Should you stay, hoping that things might take a turn for the left. Or should you just break away.. right here, right now. And sometimes in this scenario, love isn't the answer... it's just an ending."

These streets have a wealth of romance and mystery to them. You won't always be able to lay your eyes on it, but close them for an instant, and you'll probably be able to sense it. It's in the sheesha smoke that belly-dances its way through the open air. It's all around the steel and shimmer rhythm of Sheikh Zayed Road. And it's definitely in the full moon fever which descends from beneath the desert sky.

All of which lends itself to a thrashed out film script. Or bad poetry in the very least. But that's another story......."

Agree on the Love Bird, their Shawarmas sucked seriously. The next time I pass by them I'll try their mexican wrap. Also, I really have to try the Aroma Garden. I've been planning to do that for a couple of months now but never got to it. Maybe soon. :-)

Most instructive. I go to Dubai once or twice a year and haven't heard of some of these places- next time I'll try them out. Thanks for the tipsBack again for nearly 3 months but trapped by the heat. tough luck.
