… Who would have said….At the beginning it was just a sort of temptation for a new career, then a sort of target to reach, and then…HERE I am! In Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman.
I always wanted to travel, to discover new places and new realities but I have never imagined what he first impression would be like when an European gets in the Middle East for the first time
After an almost one night flight from Milan, when I woke up in the morning and had a look through the window, all I could se was a huge “sea” of sand…It is such a weird feeling , it’s like being in the “Middle of Nowhere” and then, once the plane got above the Persian Gulf towards the UAE you suddenly see something that really does not match the world you thought you are in…the famous modern buildings from Dubai amongst old small white buildings…The Palm island symbol of innovation, ingenuity, ambition proves that past and future, tradition and modernism found their place together.
The extraordinary constructions prove that man has the power to change the world…in water, on earth , in desert…
The airport of Dubai, was my first contact with the new world I entered. A huge modern structure , very crowded and but well organized. Unfortunately I was too tired to get a close look and to enjoy all the nice things there.Maybe next time
To be continued…
