I missed out on the Dubai Marathon because of my kneee operation. That enabled Gebrselassie to win but not in a world record time because he fell asleep in a chair the night before and woke up with a stiff back!
I went for a walk to the beach instead. you can see the magnificant Burj Khalifa from just about anywhere in anmd around Dubai. The air has been very clear this month, with just a couple of windy days when the sand blew in from the desert.
Just behind the glitz of the hotels on Sheikh Zayed Road are the houses where some of the workers live. A few interpid souls ride bicycles, many have cars and all seem to have satellite dishes.
