Norman is flying to Abu Dhabi today

Staying in the United Arab Emirates Norman is flying from Qatar to Abu Dhabi today. This is a flight of over 300 mile / 480 kilometer south 
which will take him about three hours. It is 31°C and cloudy in Doha and similar in Abu Dhabi. Below is a photo of a sand storm Norman witnessed during his forced stop, due to impending storms, in the Saudi desert.

  1. Great picture. Can certainly see why Norman had to stop flying. Good luck with today's leg of the flight.

  3. A great blog post and the photo is fantastic. This is straight out of 'Boy's Own' adventure stories. Amazing :-)

  5. That's a fascinating photo - no wonder the filling station didn't show up on the satellite picture!

    Apparently those circular formations in Saudi Arabia are fields of crops irrigated by "fossil" water pumped from underground rivers, very interesting.

    Have a good trip today, Norman.
