Flying above Ras-al-Khaimah (UAE)

Went for a short ride in a Powered-parachute this morning. Above the town of Ras-al-Khaimah in the north of UAE. We flew above the coast and also above some Dunes.

Supposedly on a lucky day you can see sea-turtles swimming close to this coast.
Late in the evening it seems that you are very likely to see Arabian Red Foxes in these dunes (pictured above).
The flight above these Camels reminded be of the amazing flight shots from above the Serengeti that you see on National Geographic [Ok! it's a bit far-fetched, but still the closest I've gotten soo far :) ]
I also saw these Little Green Bee-eaters on a wall near the flying club.
Note: these are a sub-species that I don't see in India.
