 The
major part of the Dubai emirate consists of rolling sand dunes
lapping the foothills of the arid Hajar mountains in the east.
Until a decade or two ago, the dunes were inhabited by nomadic
bedouin roaming with their flocks and herds. Today the nomads
have all settled, in villages in the few fertile oases or valleys,
or else in the city.
