60 kms out of Dubai to the Middle of Nowhere at 6.30am on a Friday morning. We saw a oryx in the distance and there were camel footprints in the sand, but other than that, nothing to be seen and nothing to be heard.
As far as I can see in front of me is only sand and sky, behind me are artificial man made lakes, to my right a cycle track leading to the cycle centre with toilets and cafe approximately 20kms away.
