Driving in the desert about 10km from Liwa


After a hard year of studying at the HCT I and my friend Khalid decided to have a long vacation in Liwa. After packing our things and saying good bye our families we started our trip from Abu Dhabi.
When we reached Al khatem desert we started drifting and having some fun. We found some people doing the same thing so we stayed with them. In the evening they invited as to have dinner with them so we accepted. Then we went back to the road and continued our trip. When we were about 10k from Liwa suddenly the car broke down. i tried to call the cops but there was no signal, Khalid tried to fix the car but he couldn’t. Then I had a plan which was one of as go to find any help from the town and the other to wait for any car to pass. I’m the one who went to the town and Khalid stayed in the car. The road was bumpy and long. After all I reached the police station and told them the story; they immediately went to rescue Khalid because that area was known to have thieves. But thanks to God we found him fine. The police took my car to the garage.
At the end, we stayed in the Liwa hotel and in the morning we got my car from the garage and it was fixed. And we contained our trip.

The old man


Last week when I was going back to home. After spending my time with my friend in Abu Dhabi I had an incident.

When me and my friend Khalid reached Khaldia Street. We saw an old man drinking and we wanted to see where he was heading for because he seemed sick and tired. Suddenly, he fell in the street and he started coughing blood. Khalid rushed to the man to see what happened for him while I was calling the ambulance. Khalid searched for his wallet to find something to identify him, so we can call to some of his family. Then the ambulance came and took the old man to the hospital.

At the end, we visited the old man and asked the doctor about his condition. The doctor told as that the old man has cancer in his kidney and he has a few days to live. The doctor was afraid to tell the old man the bad news, so we told him. He accepted the bad news and he decided to visit his lovers and family to spend his left time with them.

Petrol Station


At the present time, the petrol is the main thing to make some actions, products and generators. Discovering petrol made many changes. In this easy I will show the stages from the discovery of oil to the sale petrol in the filling station.

First, the oil is located under the ground in the desert and in the sea. Next the oil is pumped through pipelines and moved to refineries such as Um Al Nar and Ruwais. After that it is stored in huge tanks in a special place. Than it is refined into different products, including patrol. After that the petrol stored in vast tanks. Next it is transport it to petrol stations by special ADNOK trucks. Than it is stored in underground tanks. Finally, it is pumped into cans tanks when people can put it in their cars.

In conclusion, it is very important to store and save the petrol. Now you will know the stages from the discovery of oil to the sale in the filling stations.

Accident Desert




One day I was camping in Alwathba desert in Abu Dhabi with my friends. I was with my two uncles playing football there and suddenly we heard somebody shouting and calling “help help”. He said he had been in an accident involving two cars and some camels. I was very surprised and the accident was in the middle of the desert close to where I was camping.

The accident was very frightening and when I heard somebody calling “help” I was really shocked because we had been enjoying ourselves. The two cars were a write off and some of the camels were injured and some were fine. The guys who were driving the cars were injured too. The doors of one of the two cars were locked and we couldn’t open it because it was stuck called so the police and the ambulance to help them. Finally they felt good and they stayed with us after I invited them

In the end we helped the drivers and cooked camel meat for lunch. It was fantastic day except for the accident but we did many useful things and we helped our friends the drivers who will never forget that day.

Canned Fish


Nowadays, many people like to eat canned food because it can be saved for a long time.

First, the fish is delivered to the cannery which is a place of a factory where food is canned. After that it is cleaned of any dirty or bacteria that might affect our health. Next it is washed carefully and this is an important thing to do. In addition, salt is added to prevent the growth of micro-organisms. After that, it is washed again to be cleaner and safe. Than after all these steps, it is canned to avoid spoiling. The next step is the mixture of oil and preservatives is added. One important thing is the can of fish is sterilized for an hour. The final step is the cans are stored until they will be ready to the super market.

All in all, is very important to know how to can fish. Finally if you do the above steps you will know how to can fish.
