Is That a Mirage?

Things change so quickly in Dubai that you sometimes think that what you saw before was just a mirage.

The other morning we looked out the window from our apartment and noticed there is now a lake were there wasn't a day before. At first we thought it was a mirage beacuse there has not been any rain since we moved here (aside from a two minute drizzle three months ago) and we doubted that any water mains had broken. How could there suddenly be a lake where there was not one the day before?


Turns out the lake is a part of the Dubai Govenment's projects to extend the Dubai Creek. Maps show that the water will wrap from our place along the side of a part near us and back to the sea.

Very interesting, Andrew. You are certainly a "go getter". Bet you don't hear that phrase that often there, huh?
