In Sharjah there is an aviation museum named 'Al Mahatta' that Andre did not wanted to miss as a passionate glider pilot.

We were positively surprised how professional and large the collection is constructed. The museum is located in the city and is the originally building of the old-Sharjah airport, which was opened in 1932. The current main road was once the airstrip of the airport, which was replaced by a new building outside Sharja in 1977.

In addition to several airplanes from the history of Arab Airlines, the museum houses an exhibition on the old, first military and later civilian used airport, a further hall shows the evolution of bird flight back to the jet plane. A real insider tip and definitely worth a visit!

Afterward there was a visit to the Blue Souk on the program, an 'ice-cold' (on felt 60 degrees Fahrenheit down cooled) shopping center with countless shops and businesses.

If someone likes gold jewelry, this is the right place …

The DeLoreans are on the way with the container ship, Thursday we fly to Mumbai.

While the Germans celebrate their German Unity Day , the World Tour Team made a desert safari. Our driver picked us up with a Toyota Land Cruiser, three other passengers were added from another hotel. At first (as well as on every tourist tour) we made a stop at a souvenir and refreshment store, before we went on direction desert.

Here we met the first residents of the desert

After half an hour we arrived at a meeting place where approx. 30 - 40 Land Cruisers with tourists were waiting. All cardrivers reduced the wheel air pressure to get better traction on the sand.

Then our wild ride through the sand dunes started. Sometimes - at the one or other slip we saw us lying on the side. Our driver was relaxed behind his steering wheel , later he told us he made this tour 6 times a week.

Not all of our riders got on the permanent forth and back swing and the up and down hill and they squints suspiciously at the prepared plastic bags. After a short break and deep breathing the stomach was fine again and we could go on. But the DWT – Team had a lot of fun.

After about 20 minutes sand rally and more or less pale faces we stopped at sunset in a desert camp, where we were entertained by an Arabic folklore show and a tasty barbecue was waiting for us.
