gulfnews.com: Beyond the faces
Interesting story and photos: "There’s a healthy flow of traffic in the rest of the city, but not in Sabkha. That’s a different world within the city. Far from the high-rises and the impeccably dressed crowd, some of the inhabitants of this district have never even seen Shaikh Zayed Road.
"The shops around the district still had their shutters down. A few men were hanging around a quadrangular pavement that seemed to the centre of their universe - and the area.
"Not surprisingly, the sight of two women walking around staring at everyone boomeranged the stares back on us. As we continued to explore the streets, we realised why. There were no women around.
"But these were stares that ranged more from curiosity, amusement and amazement than anything else."
