CAR-FREE day at Dubai

Wednesday, Feb 17 is car-free day @ Dubai.
Wow, that is quite inspiring! ...at the same time ambitious. Dubai's public transport is not ready yet for a car-free day, esp on a working day.
Weather permitting, people can walk to work or cycle around. But that will be contrary to the very essence of Dubai's ( entire ME) lifestyle. And it is too late to get few camels back on duty too !
But, it is a great goal to work to. Hope more cities in ME will adopt a similar initiative and get the participation of  all citizens, especially educational and health institutions.

Camel Race at Jordan

Camel in Middle East is more than a mere animal.

This animal is so much an integral part of desert life. Among other things, camel used to the main source of transportation, till cars entered the scene.
