A very short clip, however worth another look. It is rumored a plane has flown thru the eye.
Much like in the states, shopping and food options are plentiful during daily commutes.
How would you like to wake up to this every morning ? A view from the Hotel balcony early in the morning. Please note the Persian Gulf in the background very blue and tranquil lined with parks and sidewalks. Hard to imagine it was in the past a scene much different.
