Highways & Byways
It amazes me how the UAE went from bare desert and dirt roads to a sprawling network of highways and scenic roads. I titled this pattern “Highways and Byways” which also refers to the paths taken in life to acknowledge the huge ex-pat community that took special life paths that brought us to the UAE.
