The Dubai Expressway




So, here’s the Dubai expressway.  Heading downtown we came into a long, long traffic jam.  We’re used to those from back home, but we don’t have express lanes there to get around them.  Lots of guys were pulling off to the side and driving on a dirt trail through some sand and mud (including guys in taxis and sub-compacts).  We followed them and snapped this picture.  Allison slept through the whole thing.  Must have been the gentle rocking motion.  Apparently you can be fined for taking this kind of a shortcut.  Oh well, it was way faster, and way funner than waiting in traffic.  Hurray for 4x4's.
