Part-1: The Travelers in Sharjah

Summer is not the best of times to visit Dubai. July-August are worst months with temperatures touching 46 degrees Celsius and RH of 60-70%. However, since I had to present a paper in 12^th Asia Pacific Conference on Giftedness 2012, we had little choice.More on the Conference later.

Both Neeta and I had been to Dubai/UAE earlier. For Neeta, it was her third visit. Therefore, we could be a bit selective in the sight seeing. We excluded the following places this time and therefore, you will not find its pictures in the travelogue:

·         Desert Safari and Ballet Dance

·         Camel ride

·         Gold Souks and gold shopping

·         Older malls like Wafi which we had already seen

Home Away from Home

We were fortunate to have Anand Jain (Annu) and Farida as our host. Their home in Sharjah was our home. So tastefully done up with curios collected from their travel around the world!
