while ferrying an airplane, a Twin otter, from Dubai to Europe last year. This was on the first leg from Dubai to Sharm El Sheikh.
for those who are familiar with Lawrence of Arabia or Wilfred Thesiger, let’s have some thoughts on the hardships they endured by choice. That expanse of desert is just plain huge. We flew for hours and saw nothing but rocks and sand. OK the Twin Otter is not exactly a fast plane but still…
once in a very while, a little town then nothing again for ages. I also pity the guys who build roads in such an unfriendly environment…
this reminded me of a walking safari in Libya: yellow sands and dark rocks sticking out.
circular cultures. Why in the very middle of nowhere? Only 2 fields…a big reserve of water underneath I suppose.
Sometimes it reminds of Death Valley
we were flying at 16.000 feet above sea level. That’s quite a difference with the much lower levels we use in Tanzania and so the pictures are a bit different too. No close details here.
