 Al AIN   DAY 98

Debra and Gavin, two Saffas hosted me in Al Ain. Left the hotel and all tof us went our seperate ways. I went down to the Camel Market and then on to the Saffas. Was warmly welcomed with a cold beer and an amazing wholesome dinner. Had a great evening chatting in their overland vehicle.

After two cuppucianos with Debra I took off for Dubai and went to Touratech where I got some new brake pads and the bike washed and a phone holder put on, ended up spending all day there. Then went to Andreas's house at Mira Villa, I met him riding in Oman and he said to stop by.

DAY 101    23-3-23     DUBAI VISTAS

    Andreas took me around town and we stopped here for a Cuppuciano. Then we went to the Dubai Mall to watch the ligjt show and had dinner. 

DAY 102    24-3-23   JEBEL JAIS   360km.

I rode up to the tallest mountain in UAE, I was mistaken about the other one I mentioned at Al Ain.


DAY 103     25-3-23   RIDE THE OMAN DONUT  343km.

Andreas left for Oman and I was able to ride with some locals to Oman that is almost a circle piece of land in UAE and then in the middle of that is UAE again, it's crazy but check it out on a map. So Oman has three different areas of land that don't  ajoin each other. So was a fun ride , gravel through Oman into UAE ,back into Oman and then back into UAE  and back to Dubai by noon. 


  Thanks to George and the gang.

I went to the Spice Souk and to the Burj Khalifa for another show and then back to Andres' house . I will depart tomorrow  for Qatar.
