DO MOUNTAINS CRY WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE THE SUNRISE TOO?

Al Ain, UAE - Jebel Hafeet - 2016

For 10 days, I conducted workshops in Al Ain. Although considered part of Abu Dhabi, it had completely different streets' logic, vibes and even phone code. I don't get it, but I'm glad it exists.

We woke up around 4 am to get ready, went to the gas station to get some snacks and the clerk asked us if we were going to Oman. 'I WISH', I blurted. Watching the sunset itself is a magical experience, but there's something soul crushing and healing at the same time when you get to watch it from a mountain. Seeing people in the very tiny cars, as tiny as a sesame seed going to work or school. 

We drove back to the hotel, with leftover snacks and the sniffles to nap before working again.
