I am no longer in the UAE Mr Magoo, I now live in a different desert, in Egypt :-)
The desert here is mountainous, or stoney/pebbly on the flat plateau, unlike the rolling sand-dune type of desert which you are seeing in Liwa on that webcam thingy.
I sleep in a real bed, Mr Magoo, I don't live Bedu style :-D :-D and I don't let the camels indoors either!
