The buildings and architecture in Dubai are amazing, stunning to say the least.You would have to see it for yourself to believe it (let me know when you will be coming), but for many of these buildings, the parking lots are a big sandy mess and have a lot to be desired. Many of the parking lots are large over sized sand traps for cars. Cars get stuck all the time in these crazy parking lots, including yours truly. But the people of Dubai are pros at getting cars out of the sand, they have tools in their cars that will assist with the escape and know exactly how to rock the car to get it free. A team of car rockers showed up when we got stuck and it was impressive.
The parking lot in the picture is a sandy mess but does it prevent people from parking in it - No ! There should be a sign posted on this particular lot, "Drive away quickly and do not think twice about parking in this lot". Even with a warning, I still think that people would park here. We can watch from our balcony one car after another getting stuck.
Are they daredevils or just naive ? I love an adventurous spirit but really? We were naive when we got stuck, and now we know that the ruts and large loose sand piles in parking lots should be avoided at all costs and we should look elsewhere for a parking spot.
What happened, why are parking lots left unfinished? Hmmmm....more to come on that question.
