Veiw from the top


These images are the 360 view from our roof to give you a small taste of what we see when we look out our windows. Enjoy!




Here you can see the back side of the buildings on Khalifa Street, one of the main roads in the center of Al Ain. There are lots of restaurants and retail shops on the street level, and then housing above. During lunch time this little back road is packed with cars and people.



Notice that really tall, really straight palm tree? Well, they just put this in. Although hard to believe, this tree is fake. It is a radio tower, cleverly disguised as an impossibly tall/straight palm. Richard and I find it hilarious!


This cluster of trees is a natural oasis! I love that we live near this little gem. Beautiful.

This is our roof!
