Safa Park

Safa Park is one of the rare green patches that make Dubai a conceivable habitat for outdoor beings. From inside it, the metallic city glows gorgeously....


....until the occasional sand storm envelops all but the nearest towers. You can just barely see the Burj in this picture. 


What you can begin to grasp, though, is how many birds frequent the rare green spaces in Dubai. The park is full of birds (it is renowned for bird watching) in the sky, and soccer players on the ground, with field after field of games going.

As always, signage is ... curious. Someone managed to think up a fantastic term for "Parking."
