Joe,
Small world indeed!
No prob with the photos mate - your travels have inspired me on doing what I do now, so I might as well return the favor.

Stunning as ever. I really do love the Islamic world and this has made me pine for the deserts again. Such truly cosmic architecture.
Iran must be much easier when you don't trqavel on a UK passport. Most of ther Iranians I've met believe that Britain is the great meddler in the Middle Eest and that the Americans just do what we tell them to!
I can smell that Iranian rice too. Just can't cook it at home the same.
Enjoy the Emirates and get a trip across to Muscat in Oman to cool off a bit. The UAE is a very private society although it looks quite international from the poutside. If you get any invitations consider it an even greater honour than usual. And take a minimum of 3 cups of Arabic coffee if offered. Then take it easy for an hour. DAMHIK.

A few photos from 20 years ago
Below are a few photos taken in Iran 20 years ago.
The first photo is of a cave around 2km into the desert from our guest house.
Temperature was over 50 degrees. I was just about to go in when I noticed a snake at the entrance. It is a sand snake. No antidote to the venom is available, & I nearly tramped on it. Look at the second photo. Immediately to the right hand side of my shadow is the snake, totally blending in with the sand.
Next 2 photos are of the Holy City Of Bam. This was destroyed in an earthquake 2 years ago.
A complete mud city 2200 years old.
Next is the Perspoilis.
A not to miss for anyone going to Iran. Built By King Darius, then by Xerces around 550BC & sacked by Alexander the Great.
For anyone thinking of going to Iran, these are not to miss sites.
