A day in the country

The Range Rover gets some exercise at last.

Since we arrived in Dubai we have not really ventured far outside the city. However, this weekend we took Fiver's mum with us and went to one of the most well know tourist attractions in the UAE - Hatta Pools. This is an area which is part of one the many Wadis (usually dry river beds) that are common in the mountains to the South East of Dubai.

We drove out of Dubai on one of the fine multi-lane highways are far as the sleepy town of Hatta, about one hundred kilometres away. The mountains start about 20 kilometres from Hatta.
