Back from Dubai

Back from Dubai
December 25, 2015 - Indianapolis, Indiana

Back from Dubai! It was expensive. That's the first thing I'll say about it. But it was sooooo nice, and luxurious. But onto the Subtropical Desert The biome I was in like the desert, basically. I went driving in the desert in a rented land rover, it was awesome. Here's a few things about what I learned. Typical plants that grow in the subtropics area are mango trees, litchi, avocados and citrus plants. These have adapted to the drier enviornment, so the dryness of the desert is actually ideal. There weren't many animals out there.

Although plants did exist (according to the travel guide), there weren't any in the sand dunes. Probably due to the lack of good soil and water. However, back in Dubai, there were quite a few plants. Speaking about Dubai, the entire time I was there, it didn't rain. It was so weird considering that back home it would be raining every other day. There is so much of the world I still have to see, it's amazing how different two places can be.
