OurFar East Holiday

Today we are in Fujairah, one of the smallest of the United Arab Emirates.  It is on the Indian Ocean side of the straights of Hormuz.

The photo is at first sight not very interesting but it shows part of a huge oil terminal which ships oil which has been pumped 350kms from Abu Dhabi.  This means that if the straights were closed due to a war, the UAE could still export their oil.
