Darlingtons centre-entrance single-deck Guy Arab III/ Roe's were certainly unusual for a municipal operater. Here is No. 43 from 1953 with some impressive buildings on 7/8/70. It was to last in service only one more month.
Southampton 1949 built Arab No.169 passes the Bank after a shower on 6/9/67. Another 'early' bus to be withdrawn later in 1967.
Blackburn ran some distinctive vehicles as No.134, a 1949 Guy Arab III/ Crossley seen here at the Bus Station on 4/8/70.
From my "Manchester Area Buses"book.
This large Arab house had some big Roman stones that were taken from Roman ruins in Israel (for example the long stone just left of my eldest sister).
This shot was one that my father ordered enlarged to postcard size (9x14cm) in order to send to his own father and other relatives in Hungary. My father used to do that with his best shots. And I remember being impressed by this in those days. One of the photos that inspired me in childhood.
Taken ca. 1950.
Singapore is more than just gleaming buildings, and superb infrastructure. It's a melting pot of cultural diversity. I snapped this in the Arab Quarter on a Sunday evening. Leica m6 + Zeiss ZM 50mm C Sonnar T 1.5 Lens with tri-x

Dubai is the largest and most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf, it is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the country.
Dubai has attracted world attention through large construction projects and sports events, in particular, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. As of 2012, Dubai was the most expensive city in the Middle East. In 2014, Dubai's hotel rooms were rated as the second most expensive in the world.

Southampton had a huge fleet of Guy Arab III's with Park Royal bodies which really impressed me with their smart, well kept appearance. Here is No.236 , a 1952 example fitted with heating grilles - at the Bargate on 21/6/69. This bus was withdrawn in 1971.
This is in Hebrew it says: Jewish Arab brotherhood". It is an old piece of graffiti which has been on this wall in the old city of Beer-Sheva (in southern Israel) for at least 10 years. (The tree is a sycamore fig and apparently it is mentioned in the Quran.)

Burj Al Arab
This is the tallest operating hotel building in the world not counting mixed-use buildings like Jin mao Tower in Shanghai or the unfinished Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang
All of the hotel's 202 rooms are two-storey suites, ranging in size from 170 square metres (1,830 square feet) to 780 square metres (8,396 square feet).
The atrium is 180 metres high, one of the tallest in the world.
The Al Muntaha restaurant is located 200 metres above the Persian Gulf, offering great views of Dubai. It is accessed by a panoramic elevator.
The hotel features a total of eight restaurants and bars.
The building's design is influenced by the profile of an Arabian sailing ship.
The building's external lighting schemes, from white light to a multicolored one, change from one to another every 30 minutes expressing the evening's progress.
Burj Al Arab is the world's tallest structure with a membrane facade.
A 24 meter (79 feet) wide helipad projects from the building 210 meters above the ground.
"Burj" is Arabic for "Tower".
The "Assawan Spa" is situated on the 18th floor.
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings.
The ground floor lobby of the Burj al Arab with its flamboyant decor, which is too much for my taste. Granted that as a self-proclaimed 7 star hotel, the interior has to be everything but simple / minimalist, otherwise you won't feel your money well-spent.
