Dubai Metro

Posted on November 24, 2014 by Alice

I am a dedicated public transport commuter from way back in my Sydney days, so moving to futuristic Dubai in October 2008 made no difference; I was always going to shun the car and opt for the train. Well, to be more accurate, Dubai operates a driverless metro which is remarkably clean, comfortable, reliable and safe. Oh, and the views from up there are extraordinary!

As I glide along the floating tracks high above the city’s main artery – Sheikh Zayed Road – I cannot help but feel pity for those stuck in gridlock. Sitting back in the roomy leather seats of the Gold Class cabin, it is as if I am being teleported into the next century…

About Alice

I run, I jump, I sing, I dance. Whether climbing trees, walls or stairs I do it at a clip. When out, my date is always Trusty Nikon (who never lets me down in the attire stakes; so smart in his black, with a pop of red!). Where does it lead, this love affair of mine? Well, its lead me to Dubai, via the matrimonial aisle, thanks to a gorgeous husband who whisked me from Coogee beach, Sydney into the Arabian Peninsula - to my new home, Dubai. I am a freelance writer and photographer and my wish is to snap away, to scribe and to share it all with you. Enjoy.
