The Gevora Hotel looms in the background

August 30, 2021. Tin said that Gevora Hotel is her favorite. We just parked to go to Starbucks at Sahara Tower (66 Sheikh Zayed Rd - Trade Centre - Trade Centre 1 - Dubai - United Arab Emirates).

Khor Fakkan Beach & Gulf of Oman Flashback: Khor Fakkan Beach - Sharjah - United Arab Emirates. Khris and I drove from Dubai to Khor Fakkan in the emirate of Sharjah, from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. We got to Khor Fakkan right before 8 PM, but as you can see, it was HOT & HUMID.

That evening, TinTin and I found a small table beneath the lights and ordered dinner. Around us were the usual sounds — utensils against plates, Tagalog conversations, and the tired laughter that follows long shifts. For many OFWs, places like this are more than just night markets. They are temporary commons — where distance from home feels slightly smaller, even if only for a meal. Photographed on Sony a6000.
