A Saturday in Tunis is always a busy day – especially in and around the Medina. 

I took a walk today and caught some intercultural impressions to enjoy!

Dubai / United Arab Emirates


Intercultural Impressions
from Dubai / UAE


Dubai is always worth a trip: No matter whether you enjoy the city or you find it too artificial, it never fails to impress...

Here are some impressions from my recent trip to this business and tourism hub, and as always there are so many intercultural pecularities to take note of... Enjoy!


Regular street signs:
What is the connection between the two...?
 


 
Al Jahili Fort in Al Ain -
rebuilt by a German company!



Simply amazing and beautiful:
Burj Khalifa with 828 m
 


 
My name is everywhere!



 
Oasis heritage still alive in Al Ain



 
Possibly my best desert picture...



 
Morning desert impression at Bab al Shams



 
Colorful waffle - is it a German flag??



 
Aquarium at the Dubai Mall



And here it is, probably the best picture showing the daily reality of Dubai and the Gulf States... it is not my picture, but was taken by a former participant now living in Dubai... take a look and let it sink for a while....



Strange, isn't it? Did you get it? Well, if not, here is the clue: What was the original assignment to the guy who painted it, what was he told to do...? 

:-))))))
