dubai trek - sand dunes of nazwa

this was the last destination of the trek with fellow photographers here in dubai. if it weren't for tet's vehicle trouble, we ventured forth in the middle of the desert. around 100meters from the road we took a stop and made a little photoshoot.

when we decided to leave, his car just stuck up in the sand. we pushed, tugged, and dug and all we got was sand and burying the car further.

with the sun was really streaking hot, tet decided to call a desert recovery service (in which he was financially ripped by the persons sent by the company) and able to pull off the sand. the consolation was the manufacturer and distributor of his car was there and with no charge.

i was scorched, dehydrated and worn out... but the one-day trek was worth it.
