Hi chaps.
I live in Dubai and teach teambuilding and leadership skills to military cadets. Been out here for almost six years and I can only say I tolerate the place. Actually liking Dubai would be too much. If you've never been its just one big building site with the highest concentration of shopping malls in the world. Not content with that they have just started work on what is to be the worlds largest shopping mall which, when finished, will be almost the size of Yorkshire. I do most of my work in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi. This is the total opposite of Dubai - nothing but desert and camels.
Now, during the summer, the temperature is mid to late 40's. You cannot go outside for any length of time because its just too hot.
My one respite is during winter when it's cooler I spend a lot of time sea kayaking around the Musandam Peninsular in Oman. Absolutely beautiful place with some of the best sea kayaking I ever done.
In the UK I worked in outdoor education freelancing as an outdoor pursuits instructor, development trainer and expedition leader. The expeditions were good fun and I do miss doing them. I went all over the world in jungles and mountains everywhere. Great fun.
Cheers guys.
Steve
