The Road to Al Ain

I finally made it to Al Ain today!!!  The road from Abu Dhabi is a pretty good highway-3 lanes in each direction.  Some of the sights included camels, goats in the back of trucks and plenty of sand.  One thing that was quite interesting was the rest/service areas along the highway.  Our bus stopped at one and nearly hit several cars more than once.  There was a lot of inching the bus forwards and backwards until he was finally able to gas up.  However, the most interesting sight was the mosques at the service/rest areas.  In fact, our bus driver even took a break to run in and pray!  It if fascinating how their religion is so closely tied to their everyday lives.
