The tempory fencing on the right, then the palace then our villa.



One morning this popped up down the end of our street, and stayed for 3 days. Men were there every night.




A HUGE palace around the corner where I walk has these car awings. If you enlarge you can see the dust that washes onto the cars after rain.


The tent previously had power to run lighting and air-conditioners. This where they conected the electrical power from.


Looking back to the HUGE palace around the corner.



Another view of the tent, but can you notice the power cord across the street?


Thanks for coming on the tour of my home away from home.

    are all those stairs with the black railings inside your unit?

    Is it cooler on the roof in the evening?

    I take it you have no maid and you have use for a ballroom?

    But surprise me if you do.

    I am enjoying all your photo-essays

  2. Dear Jane,
    Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but,
    Yes all those stairs are inside our villa.
    Yes it is cooler on the roof in the evenings, we sometimes get a cool desert breeze. No wonder the people here are up so late. True NO maid, and want to have a ball at some stage with friends. <3 RG
