About United Arab Emirates Travel Podcast with Omar Al Mansouri

From the publisher's feed

The United Arab Emirates is a country of abrupt transitions: flat coastal plains give way to rolling dunes, and the eastern mountains rise behind cities where Arabic, English, Hindi and Urdu all meet in daily conversation. This podcast looks at what it means to travel through that landscape as a resident would, moving slowly and paying attention.
