Emirats Arabes Unis: L'Envol Du Faucon

Flight of the Falcon aka Musings from the UAE

As promised, I return with my UAE related theme. This video is inspired by the documentary Emirats Arabes Unis: L'Envol Du Faucon (United Arab Emirates: Flight of the Falcon) produced by Pierre Brouwers for Media 9 and featured on Vodeo.tv.

Reproduced using Windows Movie Maker with footage from the documentary and photographs from my collection. The soundtrack features a snippit from Ishy Bilady - عيشي بلادي - the country's national anthem.

Musings ... from a beach

Writing in the sand in Dibba, Fujairah (دبا الفجيرة).

My United Arab Emirates

This week has seen the 38th Union day of the United Arab Emirates - دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة - and there has been a certain festive mood in the air. For the holiday break, I was up in Dibba in the northern Emirate of Fujairah - where the mountains meet the sea and look over onto the Gulf of Oman. Fujairah is beautiful - I will return to this in a later posting InshAllah.

I include a couple of select photos sharing my view of the historic Fujairah Fort, some mountains in Dibba and the celebtrations marking UAE National Day.
