Was driving to Nad Al Sheba this morning, at the slip road on the Al Khail where you take a right to head to Nad, a camel had make a leap for freedom and was roaming towards the al khail road. I rang the police, eventually got through on 911 after about 5 attempts. Spoke to plod number 1 - no english, plod number 2 - no english. Plod number three - RESULT!!!! He wanted to know what model it was???? I said the arab fcking model!



and on that note the apartments on the quay in newcaslte are expensive but there are no roaming camels and the coppers speak a language that vaguely sounds like english!

bloody terrible isn't it !!

BC - you'll find plenty of them if you travel to and fro RAK (although I heard they have fenced the sides of the road) . They can be quite dangerous as they have a tendency to dart across the road and you can't see them at twilight/night and you're driving at 120 .


What did he have to say then?

frightening I know ! but at 9.30 am , quite lazily heading straight into the Al Khail Road !!!

I tell you the police didn't understand what I was talking about, I bet it is still there unless it has been killed or caused some tragic accident.

Blacked-out 4x4

If your ever driving down to Oman be wary of Camels (when you get into Oman just before you come back into UAE again - silly i know)! Nearly hit one on a recent trip
